“Let’s see, 500 grams quicksilver, 225 grams mercury, 20 grams ground cinnabar, and 40 grams fresh mashed castor beans. This depression potion better work!”
(Mercury is difficult to vomit out in large quantities because it’s quite heavy. No backsies on this potion)
Quicksilver is the same as mercury though
And cinnabar is a historically common source of mercury. I considered azoth as ingredient 3, but figured cinnabar wouldn’t be as confusing. A whole lot of “azoth” in modern media
Can't have enough mercury.
Well it's definitely gonna work, kill the depression with pure insanity from all the mercury.
