Quote:This is of course based on JKP's suggestion that "gas" could mean 'spell'
Not really. The "gas" could still mean "quickly", "promptly" and it still would make sense.
When/if/as soon as ... , then take you quickly the "michiton oladabas". The "michiton oladabas" here can designate the spell itself (meaning "use the michitonese spell"), or some thing or substance called "michiton oladabas" (to which the spell also happens to be dedicated).
In the latter variant, "michiton oladabas" can be an "ingredient" (same as with "geismilch") - and would suffer the same deficiency: namely, it's not explained what should happen next. OK, I took the michiton or the goat milk, so what? The recipe appears interrupted in the middle.
Or: the "michiton oladabas" can be the product of the recipe: "when/if/as soon as .... you thus obtain michiton oladabas".
Though I don't favour "michiton" vs "anchiton". It just does not look as "mi", much more as "an".
