Being that Erasmus is a master alchemist, he is the best one to answer any questions about potions. When you mention the 'power potion' quest, he tells you all about it.
Erasmus states, 'There are a number of things I will need if I am to brew you a Potion of Power. The first is a hallucinogenic plant of some sort. This is to enhance the partial solipsism the potion will induce. To provide raw power of various varieties, I will need a strong source of electrical energy, a concentrated mass of raw chaos, and an egg from the giant chicken worshipped in Togrek, Hakkax. To alchemically bind these things together, I will need a rare gem called a coruscar, the nature of which will serve to unify the essences contributing to the potion. I will also need a very strong acid to dissolve some of these items properly; I might be willing to scrounge up a collection device for such acid for enough gold. Forty thousand, say. The last item I will require is... a shrubbery. You do not need to know why. Creating the potion will require a drop of your blood, because a Potion of Power must be designed specifically for one person, and only that person may drink it safely.' in Anglic.
He basically lays it out for you and leaves it up to you to retrieve the items for him. You can give them to him in any order, and he will keep track of how many items you have already given him.
The hallucinogenic plant is fresh moss from the Northlands. You can either scour the Northlands looking for it, or kill Askeen, the Red Magi Guildmaster (he always keeps a good stash on him).
A strong source of electrical energy is a lightning amulet. Fulmaris always carries one, as does the High priest in Togrek. You can also find these as random loads on travellers.
A concentrated mass of raw chaos is a warpstone. Make sure you have chaos favour before even trying this one. I usually carry mine back to Erasmus in a backpack just to be extra sure. Warpstones are found in the Exoma, on Chaos Knights, and on Slaad (which there are severeal of in Shadow Tower).
The giant egg is self explanatory. Seek out Hakkax's nest and raid it for eggs. Just make sure you get the egg to Erasmus before it hatches.
The coruscar is a gem found only in the River Tethys, and it is produced by a creature called a polypid. Kill one, and it will leave behind a coruscar, like an oyster leaving behind a pearl.
The very strong acid can come from a variety of sources. First though, you have to get a crystal vial from Erasmus, and they canbe pricey. He says they are 40k, but you can get them for 10k. He needs the money to continue his research. The acid can come from Tiamat, but this is very risky. You can also get some from a wand of acid blobs if you know the correct techniques and your skills are high enough, or you can have a very powerful wraith use the acid rune on you and collect the acid that way. One problem with the acid is that sometimes it will say that the acid isn't strong enough, even from Tiamat. This is due to some weird internal mechanism concerning acid resistance.
The last item, the shrubbery, is a throw back to Monty Python. Say the word 'Ni' to John the Shrubber and he will drop a shrubbery and run away.
Once all of the items are given over to Erasmus, he will ask for a drop of your blood. Simply 'nod' and he will concoct the potion for you. Imbibe the potion to complete the quest.
