I mean even a piece of the true cross counts as a relic, imagine the stat bonuses the full thing must've had

Re: Why aren't there potions in magic
I thought "blood of the host" didn't type-check (since usually "the host" refers to the communion wafer specifically) but google suggests it's not a totally unheard-of usage

Re: Why aren't there potions in magic
Damn, this set is rad
Now I want potions to be even more like learn through. I'd keep the potions themselves as creature-centric combat tricks that last an extra turn. But I would totally steal the learn mechanic for obtaining them rather than just put it on Potion Belt like I was thinking before
wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you
