61. Head over to Sophie's Shack to read some text. Erm, yes, she talks to herself. Anyway, you'll be heading to her lab.

62. Click on the door to get to Sophie's Lab .

For level one, you have the following ingredients:

Sophie might ask for this, and will do the same for the rest of this part.

Quantity: 4 grams Relevant Property: Power Target Value: +56 +/- 5

Relevant Property: Power means that we'll be focusing on power - you will receive something different!

Click on 'Open Basic Ingredients cabinet' and click any ingredient. Type in the number of grams - in this example, 4 - and click, 'Take basic ingredient'.

You can Burn, Crush, Soak, or Desiccate ingredients. Performing any one of these actions on an ingredient will increase its relevant property. Note that the longer the duration of each action, the more of the property the ingredient contains. You can perform multiple actions on multiple ingredients.

The ingredient's property needs to be within the target. Here, it can either be 5 more or 5 less than 56, meaning the target can be anywhere between 51 and 61, hence the power has to be between 51 and 61. Once completed, click on 'Create new composite'.

We've given it the correct quantity, and it's in the correct range, so click 'Throw it all in the cauldron and see what happens!'

You get this message:

Sophie: That seems to have worked out. I'll have to try it on something... and Bruno's not around.
Meowclops:Mew?
Sophie: Excellent.
Sophie: Note to self: The smell of burning Meowclops hair is to be avoided at all costs.
Meowclops:Mew.

63. For level 2, you get the following ingredients:

Remember that this is an example, and Sophie could ask for something similar to this:

Composite #1	Composite #2
Quantity: 17 grams Relevant Property: Divination Target Value: +43 +/- 5	Quantity: 25 grams Relevant Property: Enchantment Target Value: +86 +/- 5 Note: Cannot contain more than 10 grams of any one basic ingredient.

You will be making both composites at the same time. Remember, this is only an example and your steps will vary.

For Composite #1, I need to take out 10 grams of one ingredient - we'll use Slorgblossom - and then 7 of that same ingredient. I'd also want to take out 10 of another, for Composite 2 - we'll say Bumroot.

I need to get my Slorgblossom's Divination between 38 and 48. I'd click 'Create new composite' under one of the Slorgblossoms, and 'Create new composite' underneath the Bumroot.

I now have two ingredient slots free, so I'd want to take out any ingredient except for Bumroot, in 10g (we'll use Sharpgrass) and then 5g of a totally new ingredient (we'll use Baguss Pulp). Why? Because, as you can see, Sophie has asked that the second composite cannot contain more than 10 grams of any of the basic ingredients. I have 10g of Bumroot out already, so I need two more ingredients to make up the 25g. See?

Oh, and you'll realise my first composite is only 10 grams of Slorgblossom. We need to combine the 10 and the 7 of the Slorgblossom that's out, so click on the first composite, then click 'combine' under the 7 grams one.

Combining ingredients increases the number of grams of the composite, but any relevant properties will end up being the average of the composite and the thing you're combining!

For example, if my composite had a divination of 30, but the ingredient I was combining it with had a divination of 80, the resulting composition would have a divination of 55 (30+80/2 - there are two numbers that you're dealing with).

If you don't feel comfortable using averages, make sure your relevant properties are in the correct range of numbers before combining.

In addition, I'll need to combine the two new ingredients - here, I've used Sharpgrass and Baguss Pulp - with composite 2, to make up the correct amount required.

Once you are certain that the requirements have been met, click on 'Throw it all in the cauldron and see what happens!' again!

Sophie: I think the ingredients are correct. Now let's make sure it works.
Meowclops: Mew?
Sophie: I'm glad you're back to normal. Time for dinner!
Sophie: That's definitely not right. Although if everyone in Neovia had an extra Bearog head... nah.
Meowclops: Mew!! GRRRRR!
Sophie: Stop fighting, you two, or I'll turn this shack right around!

64. YAY! Another level. Hahaha. You now gain:

In level 3,Sophie may ask for something like the following:

Composite #1	Composite #2
Special: Spectral Essence Quantity: 25 grams	Quantity: 12 grams Relevant Property: Enchantment Target Value: +80 +/- 3 Relevant Property: Divination Target Value: +81 +/- 3 Note: Cannot contain more than 5 grams of any one basic ingredient.

Composite #2 is similar to the one you did in level 2, but, this time, you'd have 5 grams of 4 different ingredients.

65. Thanks to the following dialogue, we now know the Spectral Essence ingredients.

Sophie: Hmm... I think this one's gonna end up being a lot more complicated. Let's just see if I can remember how to make that one composite... I think it had Bloodfern Loam and Leafy Slorgblossom, but I can't remember which property it needed...

You then need to get: 20g Bloodfern Loam, Crushed & Soaked, 5g Leafy Slorgblossom, Crushed, Soaked and Dessicated.

Sophie: Okay, third try. This one will work, I'm sure of it. Now, to test...
Meowclops:Mew?
Sophie:Ah, you again. Here, clopsey...

Sophie: Uh-oh.
Dr. Meowsloth: You fool! You'll pay for this treachery! I, Dr. Sloth, will bring your ruin down upon you!
Sophie: I really hope this wears off soon.

66. Level 4 requires you to look for the this:

Remember, this is just an example and yours may vary.

Composite #1	Composite #2	Composite #3
Special: Anti-Gravitic Goo Quantity: 10 grams	Special: Spectral Essence Quantity: 23 grams Relevant Property: Conjuring Target Value: +267 +/- 2	Quantity: 12 grams Relevant Property: Divination Target Value: +73 +/- 3 Relevant Property: Enchantment Target Value: +110 +/- 5

67. The formula for Anti-Gravitic Goo:

• 4g Babaa Wool - Burned and Crushed to max
• 3g Crushed Jurpleberries - Burned and Crushed to max
• 3g Bagguss Pulp - Burned and Crushed to max

You then get:

Sophie: Please, please, let this one work properly.
Meowclops: Mew?
Sophie: You're just a glutton for punishment, aren't you?

Sophie: Okay, now that just doesn't even make sense.
Meowclops: Emw.

68. You now have new ingrediants. Remember that your data below could be different.

Composite #1	Composite #2	Composite #3
Special: Ice Plasma, Psionic Singularity, or Platinum Mist Quantity: 10 grams	Special: Anti-Gravitic Goo Quantity: 10 grams Relevant Property: Enchantment Target Value: -406 +/- 2 Relevant Property: Power Target Value: +151 +/- 2	Quantity: 5 grams Relevant Property: Conjuring Target Value: +300 +/- 1 Relevant Property: Divination Target Value: +300 +/- 1

The formula for the Ice Plasma is: (all maximum):

• 1g Nova Essence - Burn, Crushed
• 1g Bumroot - Burn, Crushed
• 1g Sharpgrass - Burn, Crushed
• 7g Sharpgrass - No Action

The formula for the Anti-Gravitic Goo is: (all maximum):

• 4g Babaa Wool - Crushed
• 2g Bagguss Pulp - Crushed, Burned, Soaked, Dessicated
• 2g Crushed Jurpleberries - Burn, Crushed, Soaked
• 2g Crushed Jurpleberries - Crushed, Soaked

The formula for the Platinum Mist is: (all maximum):

• 1g Sharpgrass - No Action
• 1g Madvine Root - No Action
• 8g Bronze Sansam - Burned, Crushed, Soaked, Dessicated

The formula for the Psionic Singularity is:

• 8g Nova Essence - No Action - To be added first
• 2g Madvine Root - Dessicated for 2 seconds

Sophie: If this one's not safe, then I don't know what I'll do...
Meowclops: Mew.
Sophie: Thanks for all your support, little guy. Down the hatch...
