Magical Ingredients
Magical creatures & magical plants have magical abilities. Mandrakes are an example of this due to their beast-like nature, but is also the Kingdom Plantae. Magical ingredients are quicker to affect & the magic rushes metabolic reactions to the body. The body breaks down nutrients at a rapid speed, but it is different for each person. It has been discovered that magical ingredients can increase your metabolism. Magical ingredients also has a greater impact with potions. Very young, very old, those that are pregnant, & those that have weak immune systems should not take potions. Adding a wrong item to a potion can be fatal.
Mundane Ingredients & Transitional Ingredients
Mundane ingredients are a softer substitute for magical ingredients. Ginger can help with inflammation and motion illness. You can drink this root daily in a tea & children can also take it. Non-magical ingredients are to help the flavor, such as lavender & mint. It can also help to counteract nasty effects in a potion. Roses can be used to help stomach issues in a potion as well as ginger. Dragonfly Thoraxes have no magic, but when put with magical items, it will show magical qualities. In the Girding Potion, Thoraxes are used for energy & stamina, while its wings are used for quick thinking potions. This type of magic is an expression of magical gifts & talents. It draws Muggles & wizards to magical creatures. Magic became a vestigial organ until it disappeared.
