Message: <blockquote data-quote="Camelot" data-source="post: 5164546" data-attributes="member: 82617">I believe you have it confused. The Brew Potion ritual was errataed to be level 1, but not the Potion of Healing. The thing was that both the Brew Potion ritual and the Potion of Healing were level 5, which was all right with just the material in the Player's Handbook. However, when they made the Adventurer's Vault, they added potions and elixirs that were level 4. Although there are no potions or elixirs of level 3 or lower, the fact that they made level 4 potions gives the potential for level 3 or lower potions to exist. Therefore, they changed the ritual Brew Potion to be level 1 so that it would be able to be used if level 1 potions or elixirs were ever published, so that they could be created at the start of the game, since they are more useful at level 1 than magic items are. As of now, though, the ritual just as well may be level 4. As to using enchant magic item to make potions, I'm on the side that says you can't. If you could use that ritual to make potions, what would be the point of Brew Potion? In addition, potions and elixirs are in a separate category of magic items than slot items are: consumables. Unlike slot items, these have one use and are then expended. Therefore, they cannot be upgraded to a higher level, because they don't last that long. Enchant Magic Item only allows you to create slot itmes; consumables, as well as wondrous items, cannot be created by that ritual.</blockquote>
