So, I was playing around with numbers and looking at the soft limit of how potent of a potion Brighid could brew on relatively short notice and without incurring any major debts. The subject of the thought experiment was a jug of Red Court murdering liquid sunshine, because I've been in a "Fuck the Red Court" sorta mood lately. I came up with a soft cap (really, this is limited only be how many scenes I want to devote to it, so there's no hard limit, but at some point it gets silly) of around 20 shifts. This isn't likely to come about in game on account of Brighid having better uses for the requisite pile of fate points she'd be dumping into it, but still pretty interesting.

The question that's been bugging me about this though is thus: I've got a solid idea what'll happen to the intended target if they imbibe the potion (They'll be able to see in the dark for the rest of their life), but what if someone else drank it? Say Winchester, greatly misunderstanding what "red court murder tonic" implied, chugged it--what would happen to him?

Well I vote he gets special vampire hunting super powers.

Fun question though, going by Dresden's pocket full of sunlight I imagine that the potion isn't increadibly hot and so so wouldn't wouldn't burn him and the sunlight itself isn't doing direct damage since I'm not a vampire.

My instinct is that his blood and urine would be antithetical to vampires while the potion was in his system and the incredible exposure to magically liquid sunshine would give him some internal variant of skin cancer. Also he would glow.

I think it depends on how you made the potion. If you were merely looking to make a potion of murder that also got past a Red Court's catch then Winchester would melt into a pile of bubbling goo.

If you were making it so it only hurt people with a sunshine catch then it wouldn't make a Winchester puddle but I'm not sure what it would taste like. Or give his throat a sunburn.

That's my understanding at least.

Sorry for the super late reply!
