3 things that we might also think about:

1: the way its set up right now if im surounded by caldrons i only have to 
throw the spell once and it works in all of them.

2: PLAY BALANACE - if we do change this then a really good look should e 
made at the potions themselves and what level they would be assigned to.

3: Cursed items being made - personally i think if we were to change this we 
should make it so that they are rarely made. Its a giant flaw in the game 
that i can just dump an item in and throw the spell and somehing appears 
(its cursed) and i can sell it as long as i dont identify it and make GOOD 
money doing it. I dont suggest that the items not come out cursed, I think 
the 95% of the time only Slag comes out if you fail.
