You don't learn how to make potions because you're in-tune with nature.
At first I was like "Oh god, potions are always abused."
But then I thought, hey, we have a lore section for all potions, it's not possible to design new potions on your own without it being added to the potion thread, and every potion has a list of side-effects.
I don't have any reason to assume you'll abuse the ability to make potions, and even then, if potions are ass-pulled, they all have side effects that must be followed through. (Not all the side effects, normally people roll dice to decide which side-effect occurs.) Roleplaying with potions poorly is punishable, but still has potential to give a character much-needed help.
With that, I accept.
