As time went by, Asher's plan was progressing smoothly.
In the morning, he spent time in the family library in the old house; in the afternoon, he received hypnosis; at night, he practiced magic in the basement. The family's shielding magic was enough to block out the surveillance of the traces.
Soon, Asher had a full month's worth of Mandrake leaves in his mouth and placed them in a crystal vial on a full-moon night.
What followed was a somewhat painful process in which he had to fill the medicine bottle with saliva.
It took Asher two hours to fill the bottle, and he could clearly feel his tongue cramping when he closed his mouth.
