Suggested New Potion
Ginnungagap

I would like to see a potion that gives a single shot at increasing the number of fragments from a single foundable capture. This can be tied into the story through Hermione's research on the calamity. I think a 4 hour brew time seems about right since it would be tied to a single cast attempt. If you increased to 3 attempts a la dawdle draft then 8 hour seems right. This would be for those high priority emergencies but is a potion I think almost everyone would want to keep on hand.

i am conflicted here.
on the one hand, yeah, i would like something like this...on the other hand...i already have gold prestiged and fully placed the images in one frame for seven of the ten families in the regular registry.
the end is kinda in sight for finding things, with 7 frames done and handled all pictures, and just a couple pieces away from a few more.
oddities 1 is in gold for me, still have a lot of fragments to find but they will come pretty quick.
i kinda think that with this kinda thing the game would be over too quickly on the scavenger hunt side of it.
a potion to increase family rank points that advance the rank bar that gives runes i could totally get behind though.
@Digitalis I think this means the potion has less value to you, but you wouldn't need to brew it. I imagine you would find yourself as having made significantly more progress than the average user. There are significant amounts of players who have yet to see several of the emergency foundables even once let alone be able to dream of prestiging a page with an emergency foundable to gold. This helps keep a playerbase that isn't as asorbed on a daily basis involved in the game.
The only thing about this is on most of the frames I can think of with severe and emergency foundables, they have 1-2 foundables you can only get through fortress challenges or possibly portkeys. So while being able to place a severe or emergency foundable would be great, I don't know it would help me prestige a page any faster because of those non-spawning foundables. But really, I don't mind either way. I could see on the page with the whomping willow and Weasley car, this might come in handy, but majority of pages, not sure.
@Dogoutlaw and if you could use in the fortress? You couldn't control what foundable you get if you get one, but that could offset the normal cast limit on it.
Don't forget there is also that brew time limit. So if you can only brew like 3 a day, people that do 10 wizards towers a day would not be triple their speed. It would however help the more casual players who may only do it a few times a day or only on the weekend etc. The main idea is to help more casual players. It won't have a big impact on those of us who play way more frequently.
My main suggestion for a new potion would be a pepper up to increase our spell energy so that those of us with limited access to inns can still try playing for a longer period
