The last sentence is imho excellent ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It is in my eyes kind of reward for investing more and more points into one skill !

I think this should go for all skills, imho.

But I also think that the player must get an possibility to learn from failures : By kind of a graphical representation for example.
Perhaps even with the char saying "I think that wasn't good" or similar stuff.

... I'm just thinking more and more on it ...

A potion that wasn't properly mixed together by using two other potions ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

If we had for example a potion that's 100 % pure stuff of some sort, then an above mentioned failure could result in only let's say 20 % purity. The rest in the flask is simply water. This could even be made visually by using a darker colour of the same stuff. Let's say a potion of 100 % purity is a clear, bright blue, then 20 % would e a *lot* darker and perhaps contain other colours (water), too !

Of course, a healing potion of 20 % purity would give only about 20 % of the healthpoints back ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

When you find a big kettle of crazy, it's best not to stir it.
