Could you provide the output from when you type SENSE? Also, could you BUGITEM the potion so I can look at it?

I took a drink of the first potion and got
You take a drink from your essence potion.
The fiery liquid burns your throat as you drink it, causing you to cough and gag!
[You sense that you have absorbed 6400 essence for enchanting.]
You have only about 4 quaffs left.


Two subsequent drinks from two different potions only result in
You take a drink from your essence potion.
YUCK! That stuff tastes horrible!
The fiery liquid burns your throat as you drink it, causing you to cough and gag!
[You sense that you have absorbed 0 essence for enchanting.]


405 on the potions indicate
You gesture at a swirling essence potion.
The layers of essence permeating the essence potion unfold before you to reveal the patterns of an enchanting potion. You determine that a swirling essence potion is a standard potion used to prepare items for enchantment up to one time.
Waves of mana surrounding the essence potion causes your vision to blur slightly, however peering deeply into the flows of essence you discover that it has been infused with mana by you. Also, you determine that the essence potion will reduce the temper time by 20 percent.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.


Given that I've now wasted two drinks with no benefit, I'm posting here before I try again and completely lose out. Is there some timer I need to wait out or such before I can use more? SENSE doesn't indicate my temp pool is full or anything so I don't think I'm waiting to convert the essence.

Any other suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

I wanted to comment on this as I'm working on cleaning up some of the tempering potion issues at the moment and when the fixes go in these will change.

If you're seeing this message...
[You sense that you have absorbed 0 essence for enchanting.]

It means you've already used up any essence that can be used in the potion. Even though 405 still shows the original reduction amount of 20 percent. When the updates go in the potions will properly indicate they're empty of essence, but I wanted to clarify so you didn't think they broke further. Anytime you see the 0 essence for enchanting, you've already used the essence up.

>> sense
>> You study your surroundings and use your keen knowledge of the arcane. It quickly becomes evident that this area is not a magical workshop.

>> You sense a convergence in the flows of essence and gather that this place must be a natural earthnode.
You sense that you have accumulated enough essence to complete a +33 enchantment.

>> The rapid accumulation of static essence has left you feeling overwhelmed and temporarily unable to absorb any new essence.

>> You have 24706 mana points in your personal mana pool available for infusing potions.

Thanks for the update Viduus. I haven't followed this issue very closely, instead just hanging onto my mana points until it appeared things had been fixed. Does this mean that we can safely INFUSE old style tempering potions with remaining mana pool points and then sip those potions to add to our Weekly / Total Essence (understanding that weekly / total limits apply)?
