Makes sense. It's funny how as a kid playing these games I kinda made my own headcanon to rationalize how a world with all those potions available would work, so I imagined potions of strength as particularly useful for construction workers, while all the desperate wizzards and clerics in training would have a flourishing black market of potions of intelligence/wisdom to help them a little bit while studying to learn their trade. It's also the only way potion shops can be explained, they need customers and since high level magic is rare, there should be a lot of ordinary customers too. To bad they took this out to streamline mechanics.
