Greetings,

The chart from the Alchemy room:

In the Common language, it reads:
Each item on the tables contains ten drinks or bites. Please choose your ingredients based on the following elucidation:

A purchase of the item:

sales clerk accepts your [note] and gives you a new one.
A sales clerk makes a quick trip to a back storage area and returns with a [melichrous alembic]. Handing it to you carefully, a sales clerk says, "Here's your [alembic]. Hope you enjoy it."
>drink my alem
You take a drink from your [melichrous alembic].
Your magic fizzles ineffectually.
You have only about 4 quaffs left.
>out
[Sylinar's Spire - 25910]
A [dusty suit of platemail] stands at rest, leaning against the dull greatsword held downward before it. Across from the armor, a pocket of cold air enshrouds an open [door]. A [spiraling stone staircase] spirals further upward to the sixth level of the tower.
Obvious exits: [down]
>drink my alem
You take a drink from your [melichrous alembic].
You feel a bit more skilled in Combat Maneuvers.
You feel a tingling energy course through your body as untapped stores of adrenaline invigorate you.
You have only about 3 quaffs left.


It seems that at least the melichrous alembic only has five uses. Also, it is rather unfortunate that the alchemy room causes the use to fizzle too. Think there could be a notice on the chart or did I miss it? (always possible).

I am unsure which is supposed to be correct, 10 or 5, but there is a discrepancy. I have bugged the item in game with pretty much the same explanation minus the logs.

With the consumables, is it safe to assume that they do not expire/become poisonous?
