Well, usually it's just one of the prefects who judges.... but hey, whatever works and is efficient. Don't average the scores, just follow the scoring system literally marking each category out of the allotted points given and send them to me I guess since Rogue was bombarded with so much this time. When I get all of the scores I'll post them here.
Oh btw - if more then one person is judging, make sure you divide the tasks between you so there's only one set of scores and not double for each task.

Explanation - ( the hidden behind the potion)
Slytherin Decided to do a mind potion, as in mind control, mind of matter etc. But first in any mind situation you must take a look at the inner self. You must go into your Unconscious, discover its inherent powers and uniqueness. This will make you a true master. Once you find your will you have found your most powerful ally. By looking within your self you can and will find your inner most desires. Once those desiers are found they can be turned into reality, and this what this potion allows, but it get goes deeper yet. In this Potion the Ingredients Cinquefoil, Rue, sage, Aquamarine are all added to open your mind and take a look at the inner-self and open the drinkers mind. Once you have taken a look and found your innermost desire, which in this case is mind control. Now in this a question may arise ' why add the, Cinquefoil, Sage, Rue, Aquamarine If I already know I want mind control/mind powers? Well the answer is you still need these ingredients. You still need to take a look inside your inner most thoughts to find how you want to use this potion ( good or bad). Magic is much like Beauty it is in the eye of the beholder, Its whats lies deep with in your heart which makes you use your potion in a good or bad way. After adding the clarifying ingredients, you will begin to add the animal product. This will allow the drinker to take poses and take on the quality of that animal in the potion.In this potion Bats Blood, a live toad and illithid will be added. Bats blood will give you the quality of sonar hearing which may prove helpful.Secondly a live toad is used. The reason for this is because when the toad is placed into the brewing cauldron it becomes scared and secretes a milk which when drank will strengthen the contractions of the heart muscle but lowers the heart rate.(this can cause stronger heart and slower amount of contractions). Then add the ingredient Illithid/mind Flyer brain. This will give you the ability of mind control, the Reason being is because the illithid ( a magical creature) consumes a persons mind and soul.(again what lies within your heart will decided how this power will be used).The very last ingredient to be used is the herb Mint. Mint is used in spells and potions because it hurries the results. An important word of advice for this potion is that it can ONLY be made during the cycle of the Waxing to the Full moon. The reason being is because during the two weeks it takes the waxing moon to reach the full moon the moon is gaining visibility. In magical terms this means with spells and potions you may gain things as in powers,friends, money etc. In this potion we are wanting to achieve power of the mind, so there for while the potion is brewing it is gaining in strength in the cauldron.On the night of the full moon the potion becomes complete. The drinker then drinks the potion under the light of the full moon. now this potion will only last TWO weeks, the reason being the full moon will then decrease from a full to a wanning moon. which is when the visibility becomes smaller.
You have a point BUT the entries were all posted on the 11th and it's the 16th now (my time) so it's been almost a week. The challenge itself took two weeks but 2.5 because instructions weren't followed and confusion ensued. I've also PM'ed and posted about judging once all the entries were in and I've posted the scoring system twice.
Judging usually takes one weekend but yes, if people want to research to check on accuracy then that's fine by all means but it shouldn't take too long cos all you really need is an internet search engine to find ingrediants seperately or an online wicca dictionary or something. But research isn't completely necessary I don't think for Task 1 - rather, similar to Task3, if it sounds as if it's been thought out, plausible and not just made up 'crap' then it should be ok and just a matter of allotting how many points you think it's worth.
well RP I have a herb book/spell book. thats how I got my herbs for the potion. I looked there but some were not all in my book from the other houses potions so I need to search online 😉
btw> I saw the name for gryffindors potion but I cant find the ingredients and instructions ect. do you know where its posted?
