Apothecaries are the most volatile and unpredictable of all witches. A considerable feat, since I doubt they know many true “spells.’ Their realm is that of brews, potions, and poisons, all of which may have any number of different properties and not all of which may be intended by the madwoman who brews them. The magic of mixing is inexact, and mistakes and side-effects are a common occurrence. Of course, it takes far less effort to mix some nasty ingredients than it does to conjure fire out of thin air, so that an Apothecary may cook up half a dozen haphazard potions in the time it takes her sister to cast a single, reliable spell.
