First Try

Silvermist had no more hand in what he could teach Alex. All he could do was wait for Alex to figure out what to do on his own. 

"I cannot tell you how to use Pills as an ingredient if you can't create the pill in the first place," Silvermist said. "I will be back in a while after you've managed to make the pill."

Alex nodded and watched his master leave. After he was gone, he simply looked at the Blueveined Orchid in front of him for some time while thinking of all the ways he could mix ingredients together to get the result.

He thought for a while, coming up with some that got close but not perfect. He knew what the Blueveined Orchid did, so coming up with a combination that did something similar was not that difficult. However, even after an hour of thinking, his mind was mostly blank.
