It's not just about the use of them. CF has always handed out
magic to non mages in the form of preps. It's about giving
that much magic and healing ability to non-mages and
non-healers without having to put forth any real effort.  If
the invis potions are limited to one and were in Seantryn, I'd
be fine with that.  If the fly potions were in Hillcrest and
limited to one, I'd be fine with that.  But that list, right
there in Galadon, puts too much power in the hands of
non-mages without having to go anywhere to get it.  It also
means, in my case for example, when the warrior failed on his
first attempt, he was ready to make yet another attempt using
the same preps just minutes later.  And he repeated that
technique again and again, on me and others.

If I remember correctly, fish use to give stoneskin, or some
other such buff.  At one point, everyone was running around
looking like a fish monger.  It was finally realized that that
gave too much power to players who knew where to get the prep
and was, I assume, eventually nerfed.  Not certain, I haven't
looked for it in years but I haven't seen anyone specifically
using it.

That list, imho, is even worse. That's too much magic and
healing within easy grasp of those who don't want to pay the
price of being a squishy mage or the effort it takes to get a
healer empowered.

Several of you have pointed out that DI preps and items are
all over the place. And I'm aware of that.  But, I know of
nowhere else that you can find THAT many powerful preps in one
spot and not have to walk that far from a recall spot.
