Draught of Sharpened Wit

The Draught of Sharpened Wit is a potion that most brew when they need a mental boost.

Description
When brewed properly, this draught has a dark blue hue to it, the steam rises in the shape of complex mathematical calculations, and even the scent of the potion sends your brain buzzing.

Effects
The potion, when drunk, will sharpen the wit of the drinker, causing them to be able to think clearer. However, the drink has the unfortunate side effect of sharpening the tongue as well as the mind.
