Not sure what was in those potions, but sounds scandalous.

Also, Gervasio having more mana than Ferdinand, our shonen MC? Doubt it, unless the Lanzes have some crazy compression

Considering how he was chosen as the next king over Ferdinand, he must have had more mana at some point, but that's most likely in the past. Ferdinand was a compression monster to begin with and that become even more intense with Rozemyne's method.

Then again, Gervasio is a royal, from a country that (as far as we know) didn't have it's verbally passed down knowledge lost, like their neibhbor. So in theory, they might still remember compression methods going back as far, as the founding of Yurgenschmidt, which the Yurgenschmidt royal family lost, when the former Zent and his successor were killed in the civil war, before they could pass the knowledge on... or at any point between the departure of Tollkühnheit and now, so who knows.
