After a disorienting journey, they finally arrived at Carlos's "Inverted Potion Workshop."
The entire workshop was built inside an inverted clock tower, with countless precise gears turning slowly, emitting a rhythmic "tick-tock" sound.
The potion experiment table spiraled from the "ceiling" to the "floor," with each level having a different direction of gravity.
On some tables, jars and pots floated in mid-air;
On other tables, liquids flowed "upwards," forming inverted waterfalls.
The most bewildering aspect was the potions themselves.
They completely defied the basic principles of Magic Potion Making.
Here, the potions transformed into solid, gem-like multifaceted crystals.
These crystals floated in specially designed containers.
The labels on the potion bottles were even more intriguing.
There were no ingredients or proportions, only poetic descriptions of the final effect:
"A Bottle of Eternal Tranquility"
"Three Grams of Shattered Despair"
