Cad was good at potions. He certainly worked hard enough at it. He waited for Mister Macnair to tell them to begin before he started. Head down and focused on his own work he prepared his ingredients, prepared his cauldron and began the steps needed to complete the wit-sharpening potion. He wished he had taken one before the competition, but there was probably some sort of rule against that.

He stirred his potion one last time - and then raised his hand indicating his completion of the work.
