I know this idea will be rejected as soon as it is read--maybe even sooner.

So mages get these wands and staves that have multiple charges. I've played a handful of mages in the past 8 or 9 months, and none of them ever had any trouble having aura up almost 24/7. If I knew I was going to be sitting around idle, maybe then I wouldn't bother putting up the protection.

I'd like to see preps in the form of potions have multiple uses. It could depend on level. Low level ones would only have one use. Mid-level potions would have two. And high level would have three.

Additionally, I think it would be cool to add sip to potions as well. You take a sip of the prep and get partial affects (with full negative effects if the potion has any). Partial effects would be like instead of stone skin, you'd get stone skin cut in half, in both duration and damage reduction.

Just a thought.
