Feb. 26: Potion Changes

Various potions of healing made by the Asis priesthood...these are going to start hurting vampires as if they were normal healing potions. I'm also reducing the "bang" of the healing visual to almost the levels of the normal potions.

potions of magic renewal...these are going to be altered in a couple of ways:
1. There will only be one version of the potion sold.
2. Old versions can be swapped for the new version (just enter the swaprenewalpotion command).
3. New version will function normally, but add XP Debt of 20 * character level to balance the cost between low and high level casters.

Hehe, so much for Angelica's Asis potion orgy Ah well, all good things....

Isn't she isn't stockpiling mass amounts of dragon blood?

She's always got gallons of dragons blood (And it's cheaper to get... free vs 35000 for 10 asis potions). I's her primary buff The asis potions were nice though because they could be stacked for quickslotted healing.

So now, if crid uses a renewal potion he gets slapped with 800xp debt?

I am not a fan of that little detail. Casters in general have a rough time of it in Aenea due to resting restrictions... the potions, while costly, helped to mitgate that.

Sure, make them simpler, but XP debt doesn't seem like the right direction to balance them.

Have them deduct gold when used (edit: an amount of gold based on character level), or have a limit on how many can be used in a short span.... but not XP debt..... thats just too costly... and there is no other recourse for casters.

Definitely something to consider. I'll take a look into the scripts to see what I can do.
