Brewing Potions troubles

[Legacy_Shadooow]

               Im having troubles to brew potions. According to wiki almost any spell of lvl 3 or lower can be cast, but Im able to sucesfully creaty only divine favor (with cleric). Im sure I have right item "Magical Potion Bottle", not sure why there is also Magical Potion stack of 10 potions which can't be used for anything too.

If I cast for example Bless on my empy potion, no such potion is created and spell works as I would cast it on myself. Im trying this in clean mod (after I discovered this issue on PW). What am I doing wrong?

               Helps to read the entire sentence:



"The character can create a potion of any spell of third level or lower that the character knows and that targets a single creature."



Bless is an area effect spell while Divine Favor has a single target (the caster).

               Well I don't understand then why there is in description as an example listed potion of Bless. Also at wiki there is table of potions that can be created and bless is there.

I also tried Aid spell and nothing. Does Aid mets that prerequisite?

First, I have no clue what the stack of 10 Magic Potions are used for.  Perhaps for custom spells?  Dunno.

You should notice a difference in appearance between the Magic Potions which are sort of iridescent rainbow colored like a brewed potion and the silvery white Magic Potion BOTTLE.  AFAIK, only the latter can be used to brew, ShaDoOoW .

The standard brewing procedure is to R-click on the BOTTLE in your inventory and then select via the radial the appropriate spell to be brewed.  I just made both Bless and Aid in my cleric's inventory using that method with no problem.

There is always a possibility if playing custom content that though the crafting bottles, blank scrolls and bone wands may be available in that module, that the designer forgot (or perhaps intended) that crafting magical items via spells was not scripted.  However, in all modules I've played, if the components were made available, the action could be executed successfully.

Edit:  Incidentally, you can treat all the magic crafting lists in the Wiki as gospel, since they were compiled via 2da and verified in-game besides.  The lists represent ONLY vanilla 1.69.  The CEP/PRC may have its own lists.

Also, not to be argumentative, but Bless does indeed target a single creature.  However, the EFFECT is an AoE, not merely the target.  Same situation with Invisibility Sphere.

There is a caveat pointed out by the Wiki that is worth mentioning, as well:

• "In addition to targeting a single creature, a valid spell for this feat must not bring harm to its target. (This feat is intended to create potions that the brewer would generally not be averse to drinking.) There are furthermore some spells blocked from brewing for obscure reasons, probably oversights or bugs."
