The Apothecary's Recipes

Hema keeps writing the same three steps. She decides she's done writing them.

For weeks Hema has been writing out the same recipe whenever someone walks into her shop with a tincture order: filter out the weak herbs, count what's left, combine the potencies. Three lines, every time. She's begun to find it tedious — and worse, the tedium makes her sloppy.

So tonight she does something she's been meaning to do for ages. She'll ? make-tincture, and inside that name she'll write the three steps once. After that, any time she needs the recipe, she just writes make-tincture on a line by itself, and the whole sequence runs.
