I don't get how Willpower affecting the radius of an alchemy error is not a bug in your opinion. The error results in a fire ball and the code uses the character's Willpower to calculate the radius for elemental balls. It is intended for spells and wands, because the character through willpower summons a bigger/stronger ball.
I think what happened is that the same piece of code is used.
Making an error in mixing the wrong ingredients, how is Willpower determining the size of the Fire Ball?
It is a scummy tactic and I don't want to be tempted into using scummy tactics.
Anyway, the creator will simply respond: Not a bug/ Intended bevaviour.
Yes, it would be an enhancement. If his response is: Intended behavior, then so it is and I will be content. I'm putting this in a bug report so he knows what the situation is, in case he did not intend it.
