== Arrival at Pragma ==

[[File:Chamber of elders.jpg|thumb|The top of the mountain of Pragma where the druids first showed the Witches Cauldron to the elders.]]
When the two druids returned to Pragma with the cauldron they were met with confusion from the other druids. Why would they carry a large and heavy cauldron such a long distance? The two druids then told their story of how they had found the cauldron and how it had enhanced their potions. Many of the druids did not believe them saying the potions had seemed stronger only because they had had a hard day. But the two druids insisted that the cauldron had enhanced their potions. The commotion caught the attention of one of the elders who told the two druids to bring the cauldron in front of the elders upon the top of the mountain which Pragma was built upon.

== Potion of Pragma ==
While testing every potion known in Pragma, one druid suggested brewing a potion that had never been successfully brewed before, the Potion of Pragma. The Potion of Pragma had been theorized about and attempted before but had never been successfully brewed. The potion had ordinary ingredients, save for one, an [[Apple of Pragma]]. The Apples of Pragma are very rare and only grow from the tree atop the mountain Pragma is built in. The apples have great healing properties when consumed and the druids of Pragma had tried for many years to brew a potion using them. However, the magic in the apples was too strong and could never be contained in a cauldron before.

== The Accident ==
[[File:Witches cauldron explosion.jpg|thumb|The remains of the room after the harming potion explosion. The room was carved out of solid stone yet the stone was destroyed and cracked with scorch marks and fire in every corner of the room.]]
Potentia then tried to brew a potion of harming in the cauldron. He added ingredients as he normally would to the cauldron but as he went he noticed the cauldron begin to bubble in a way he had not seen before. He leaned in close to look deep into the cauldron, and then bang! An explosion that shook the mountain knocking solid rock loose. Nearby druids rushed to the room the cauldron and Potentia were in. As they rounded the corner they were shocked by what they saw. The hallway which had been carved out and was solid stone was scorched, smoke bellowed out of the room Potentia had been in. The thick wooden door to the room was turned completely to ash and the stone around the door was cracked. They rushed to the doorway to help Potentia and looked in to see the room destroyed. Fire was everywhere and solid stone had been completely destroyed. The cauldron was in the same spot as it had been sitting atop a cracked pillar of stone. Even though the room was cracked and scorched, the cauldron looked untouched. Not a single new scratch was on it.
The druids looked around the room for Potentia and saw him lying deep in the crater created by the explosion. They rushed down to help him and as they got close to him they saw how badly he was hurt. His skin had been burned away and he laid there bleeding heavily. You could see flesh and bone and both had holes in them. The druids took off their robes and wrapped him in them and carried him out of the crater and room. They carried him through the mountain as he screamed in pain until they arrived at the medicine room. The druids used all the healing potions they had but nothing helped Potentia. As they ran out of options one of the druids grabbed a Potion of Pragma. The druids argued over this as they had not done enough testing on the potion to have a strong enough understanding of it but it was decided that it was his last hope.

Line 49 ⟶ 51:
However the inscription itself raises more questions as the druids were unable to make a mark at all on the cauldron no matter what they used. It appeared the cauldron was given its magic after it was created as the iron seems to be normal iron that was infused with magic, not the source of the magic itself. The druids have concluded that the cauldron can not be destroyed by any normal means. This has raised more questions though, was the cauldron given its magic when it was first created or afterwards? Who created the cauldron? Who gave it its magic? And who is the inscription for? The druids have not been able to solve any of these mysteries but continue to look for the answers.
