I thought you might find the current contents of my notepad interesting. I had to make a few modifications to make it show the correct spacing (hence the dots for spaces in my beloved mini-charts). Enjoy, and feel free to comment and speculate :)
{m================================================================================{x
Potions are made using the craft of {minfusion{x. Each vnum has four v-slots which may be used to create potions of varying strength and effects. Not all potions can use all four slots: the number available is governed by the object's level, as shown below:
Level 1-30: v1 <-- at least weight 1
Level 31-40: v1 and v2 <-- at least weight 2
Level 41-50: v1, v2, and v3 <-- at least weight 3
Level 60: v1, v2, v3, and v4 <-- at least weight 4
Potions must weigh at least 1/10th of a pound (Weight 1) for each v-slot used. Different infusion ingredients will make potions different weights, some of them quite heavy. Use the {mingredients{x chart to find the weights used in your potion, and add them together to determine your potion's weight. Note that the level of the potion object and the level of the spells it uses must be identical, but that each has to be set individually. To do this:
TYPE: {Clevel {x<{C#{x> TYPE: {Cv0{x <{C#{x> This would correctly set
EXAMPLE: {Clevel 50{x EXAMPLE: {Cv0 50{x <--the potion's level to 50.
To set your potion's ingredient v-slots, simply:
TYPE: {Cv{x<{C#{x> <{Cingredient{x>
EXAMPLE: {Cv1 blood{x
EXAMPLE: {Cv2 aloe{x {m================================================================================{xhelp {mDrinkcontainer{x to continue or {mPill{x to go back

weight and armor: base weight for each wearslot: ac 0, ac bonuses with every 5 lbs: heavy items offer more protection: mages should be in robes, not platemail (unless magic...)
added containers which can't give more weight but can give more item space (ie quivers, potions)
have as best item for infusionists be container with space for limitless potions which will never break
corrollary idea: make containers break potions

make wild magic part of all magesmagic has % chance to go wild whenever casting a spell, chance to wildly cast wrong goes down as you gain in xp. or you can choose to have your magic become more and more wild.
wild magic: does more damage than a targetted spell, and has a chance to do it to everyone in the room. fighting alongside a wildmage then becomes risky, enforced by code.
