[QUOTE="The Little Raven, post: 3974429, member: 10095"] He's not debating this, he's debating why it's so different to enchant a spell effect into a potion than into a weapon or armor (thus represented by separate feats). You are basically transferring the arcane energies of that spell into a different medium, and why should the different mediums require such different training? You don't actually have to have Alchemy or know anything about actual brewing to make potions, nor do you have to know a thing about blacksmithing to enchant arms and armor. If I can make a potion of fly, or a wand or fly, why is it so different for me to make boots of flying? After all, it's all based on fly, which is a spell I am familiar with. If throwing fireballs and flying are easily explained as part of manipulating arcane energies (despite being incredibly different spells), then there's no reason why potions and armor can't just be explained by the same broad enchanting of arcane energies (despite being incredibly different mediums).
