A Dirty Magic Challenge!

[Chelsea]

We've got about one week left before we end the re-read of Dirty Magic and start Cursed Moon! Has anyone finished Dirty Magic already? If you're still reading, how far along are you?

So here's a challenge for everyone (remember, each comment on the discussion boards earns you an entry for the Dirty Magic swag bag)...

In Kate's world, there are potions for everything--strength, beauty, energy, etc. If you could make a potion, what would it do? Would it be classified "clean" magic or "dirty" magic?

I finished! I'm eagerly awaiting the Cursed Moon read-along.

Potions have to be ingested by a person, right? I kind of feel for Pen, in that I could really use an energy potion most mornings (caffeine doesn't work on me). Or maybe a potion that lets me sleep-clean, where I'm sleeping but my body is cleaning my house while I'm happily snoozing. *grin* I think the first one might be clean, but the second one would have to be dirty I imagine.

Time-stoppage: adds a certain number of minutes (10? 30? more?) in between 2 seconds. You can get something extra done in that time or simply pause the world while you take a few minutes to think and center yourself.

Dirty magic. Definitely, dirty.

LOVE the sleep-cleaning idea! You figure out the ingredients for that potion and you'd make a fortune! :)

Yes! There's never enough time in the day and I would love to be able to just put a pause on life and take some time to think and breathe. Brilliant!

I'd absolutely make a potion for patience. It's not a virtue everyone has. 😉

I think it would be considered clean. It doesn't need to be something extreme.. Just take the edge of that crankiness that can sneak its way in.

Great idea, Trisha. I could definitely use this potion at times and would love to be able to slip it to others. :)

I call that potion "wine." ;)
