Much as Isaac had predicted, research into the Witch Elixir progressed remarkably quickly. Not only did he forgo using Anchor the Future, he completed research on the deluxe, top-of-the-line Witch Elixir in just three months!
As mentioned before, this version of the Witch Elixir posed no technical difficulties. It was simply a matter of throwing money at it.
Of course, that supposed lack of difficulty applied only to Isaac. Other Legendary Wizards might not have been able to pull it off.
The key to this potsion lay in blending and combining [concepts]. Although this was a fundamental skill for every legendary potsion maker, few at the Fourth Tier could do it better than Isaac.
Besides his golden finger, which ensured that he always stayed on the right path, Isaac's greatest advantage was that every batch he brewed succeeded!
Although the early stages consumed considerable resources, he had still produced finished potsions. Working backward from those products to reconstruct the brewing process made his research much easier.
The next version, however—
Would not be so easy—
Why had no potsion capable of developing a witch bloodline been created yet?
Besides witches' innate distrust of Legendary Wizards, the extreme rarity of the relevant ingredients played a crucial role. When a witch found such an ingredient, she barely had enough for herself. How could she bear to hand it over to a potsion maker for experiments?
Success would be fine, but what if it failed?
The sunk cost was too high!
Thus, the research that followed was the real focus: using exceptionally powerful concept-blending skills to brew a potsion capable of developing a witch bloodline from ingredients that lacked that ability!
Besides its connection to witches, this research also involved an immature hypothesis Isaac had about great deeds. The results of this experiment
