If so I'd run this sort of thing less as a consumable and more as a thematic story element. Say they find an altar of elemental attuning, but the materials component is limited. There are three "vials" that the players can choose to put the components in, each corresponding to a particular element. Once the components are expended they've consumed their "one shot". Further use would be impossible due to lack of components or perhaps other story elements (cave in where the altar is kept, etc...)Just a thought. Ultimately though limiting choice like that is a very story themed item, and thus I think the story should solve the problem, not mechanics.</blockquote>
