12-06-06, 01:24 PM There is a spell(Quick Potion) from the compendium that allows water to be changed into a liquid that can then have a spell cast on it, making it a potion. (Not open content so can't say too much)

Its low level and seems to open up a way for easy abuse:

Get a item(machine) that pumps out vials of this liquid, and sit back and just cast spells into them. No more costly(gp or XP) potions for spells like (Cure X wounds).

or am I missing something?

Also, could this be used to store maximized or empowered cures from a cleric using Divine Metamagic?

Or get a pison and Quiescent them to last way longer.

1. The knowledge to make the machine.
2. The material to make the machine.
3. The magic to make the machine.
4. The spells to rapidly fill such liquid.

Some of these have the DM as a balancing / game-moving gatekeeper.
