CAUTiON

If your manuscript still requires structural or stylistic refinement, the Runic Circle of Plot Enhancement or the Charm of Clarity should be invoked first — the potion perfects, it does not reshape.

When your draft has been structurally and stylistically prepared, and you need every sentence and paragraph to shine, free of errors or inconsistencies.

APPlICATION

  • THe ANOINTING

    • Gently brush the potion across the manuscript, line by line. Each word will drink in the elixir, smoothing rough edges and banishing wayward errors from sight.

  • THe HARMONISING

    • Sentences will begin to sing together as the potion aligns rhythm and tone. Punctuation, grammar, and syntax will fall into step, creating a steady cadence through the prose.

  • THe MARGIN WHISPeRS

    • As the potion deepens its hold, faint etchings will bloom in the margins. These notes mark hidden weak points, propose graceful alternatives, and illuminate subtleties for the author’s eye.

  • THe SeAlING Of CONSISTeNCY

    • Names, spellings, and styles wil be bound together under a single spell, so that no character, term, or formatting slips its tether. The manuscript will gleam with internal unity.

  • THe SCROll Of ReCORD

    • When the potion settles, a scroll will unfurl, serving as both record and reference for future drafts, revealing patterns, strengths, and places for continued growth.

SAcReD iNQUiRieS

  • Does the Polishing Potion change my writing style?

    • No — the potion is brewed to preserve your voice. It only removes distractions (grammar slips, syntax stumbles, style inconsistencies) so your natural tone shines brighter.

  • Can I request focus on certain recurring errors?

    • Absolutely — the potion’s effect can be guided toward recurring issues you’ve noticed.

  • Is this the same as proofreading?

    • Not quite. Proofreading is the final pass to catch typos and formatting errors. The Polishing Potion goes deeper, refining grammar, syntax, and consistency to ensure professional polish.
