How do you create potions? I have found the flasks.

You stick the herb and empty potion bottle into the mortar and pestle then click on the newly created potion to take it away.

Thanks! I didn't know the mortar opened up with a right click!

I think this is one area of the interface that's confusing and not particularly usable or elegant. Making potions is quite fiddly, and then giving them to the right person is also quite fiddly too. I appreciate that the magic and potion systems are not designed to be too easy to use, as they are supposed to reflect how tricky it would be to do it for real. But that said, making potions is just a bit over complex for a realtime game and could do with a bit of streamlining in my opinion.

I actualy tried to make a potion in combat once and it did not end well. If interface had been simplified I might have done it, but i'm not sure that is good. It's good that it takes some effot. Keeps it as a prep task without focing a "not while in combat" dialog.

I think it's balanced complex wise, have managed to do couple potions in a fight.
