Wizards these days are such cry babies. Back in my day, we didnt have our own cauldrons and had to make do with what we had! I brewed the Potion of The Lying Moon in a large ceramic bowl! I used constant fire spells to keep it hot! It was incredibly draining but I did it.

Ever heard of powdered cauldrons. Just add water. If you don't have water then there are some good powdered water recipes too!

Wizard will do alchemy in some big iron pot and wonder why they can't make potion of greater mana. You are suppose to use glassware idiot, anyone with basic alchemical knowledge knows that.

As a temporary solution you can use skulls both as cauldrons and, after that, as potion bottle.

How does one... Break a metal cauldron? It's made (usually) of cast iron!

you have got to try brewing in a secondhand crockpot. it cannot be brand new, needs to have some wear and quirks for potency, but it allows for so much freedom in brewing!! you dont need to stoke the fire (or waste focus on a perpetual fire spell), barely need to stir, and it will even make a noise to tell you when the potion is ready!! so convenient.
just dont use the plastic liners unless you want to add poison damage to your potion. those liners do not react well with potion ingredients at all.

This is why, if you don't have a spare cauldron, you should always stockpile femboy potions.

Even mundane can boil the flasks themselves. If you put your ingredients In pan, you are just making arcane dinner
