The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Love Potion, at the heart of their romanticisation process, was a mysterious chemical which had the effect of temporarily making sentient beings feel nothing but unconditional love for everyone they met.
This love could just as easily be platonic as romantic, depending on the inclinations of the romanticised individual. The immediate effect of the Potion would wear off after a short time, but even then, the new dispositions acquired while under the spell would remain locked in, feeling as real and indestructible as natural feelings. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel) The effects could wear off more quickly and thoroughly if the subject experienced a shock soon after romanticisation, although even then, they were liable to remain aimlessly giddy and erratic for some time. (PROSE: Pessimist and the Dromedaries) The Cupids usually used Cupid Arrow dipped in Potion to enact the romanticisation process. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel)
The original Love Potion was a biochemical formula developed by the Crew's Creator. However, the formula was misplaced early on by the Prefect of the Department of Chemistry, #257. Subsequently, the goddess Aphrodite herself kept the Cupids supplied with a purely magical substitute with identical effects. The interchangeability of the two forms of Potions puzzled the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Wizardry and the Department of Theology. (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids)
