Not really; can you elaborate? Is it crafted, looted? What doesn't work?

These are the old "Potion of Lore" items that are in the loot from way back before the "Identify" spell change.  It casts Identify on the player, since potions are self-use, but with the change to the spell it can only do anything if you cast it on the item to be identified.  So this item isn't usable, most people just vendor it for like 30 gold.

Maybe I’m wrong but I just drank one of these and targeted the item I wanted identified and it worked fine? It worked like any cure potion only the item was the target.

I'd say the author just didn't know that he had to target the item with the potion, it currently works 100% fine.

Oh cool, I haven't tested this since the original Identify change.  It used to not work if you used it on the item.  Guess that was fixed somewhere along the way, I've just been trashing them all this time.   :lol:

Maybe the item description can be a bit clearer?
