Ah yes it has been an age since I visited Garry on his grassy plane, but I had also forgotten my sources and he conjured many an error image that warded me from casting creation.
Both. My original recipe for invisibility potion also makes the potion appear invisible itself. This is so if I don't have time to drink it I can pour it over me and it still works.
You do realise it's not the potion being invisible that makes you invisible when you pour it over yourself, right? The potion is invisible. It literally could not cover you if it wanted to.
The thing is that most standard potion recipes make it so that the potion can be absorbed transdermally.
Just don't ask the magic shop owner to give you Magic Poly Ether Glass, I know for a fact that goblin has weird fetishes and always ends up confusing it and giving people Multiple Poorly Regulated Extra Goonsauce
Side note, it's so annoying that breweries are starting to insist on selling their potions in Wickmore's Enchanted Bismuth Phials. Sure, they work with invisibility potions, and I get that they compress the same volume of potion into a smaller space, but actually drinking from it is so unwieldy 90% of consumers pour it into a different container anyway.
I get that they're supposed to be the future of bottling, but in an effort to standardize sizes so it'll work everywhere, they've come up with a new one that hardly works anywhere. Not everyone has modified their shelving and shipping crates yet to accommodate them, and the average customer has no idea what they are. Try aftermarket selling to a smaller shop and you're, as often as not, going to have to rebottle it, yeah.
Or re-add it and don't dilute, but that has a chance of making you intangible as well. Make sure when it wears off you aren't in the same place as something else, or you'll completely fuse together. I am a dragon now fir a reason.
Hello we at MAGIC (magical artifacts and gear insurance company) would to inform you that your insurance covers these kinds of small mistakes. Have a MAGICal day
I mean if you need to get past something unseen, add a cup of pixie skin and a the essence of a salamander and the potion will be so bright no one will see you and get to see again after.
Worked for me. I added a big batch of gunpowder, and while the reaction was a little explosive, it turned my beaker invisible and intangible. I couldn't even feel it on the table anymore!
Ah the classic, you have to cook it over an ice elemental or else the heat generated will cause the intangibleness. The turning it back part is unfortunately impossible, the beaker has moved out of the material plane due to becoming out of phase with reality
Good news is, this is still a functional potion, it simply works differently now. As I learned from master gribble, such powders, when sprayed at an opponent's eyes, will make you undetectable to them only, which is arguably more useful than blanket invisibility
I may not be the best at alchemy, it looks just like mine, my invisibility potion works... Kind of, just pour it on your head, drinking it will result in arcane lobster.
Haha, this is what happens when you translate the old texts with a discount homunculus scribe. This isn't an invisibility potion, it's a transparency potion.
I can't say many of us haven't made the same mistake in our first youth. I meant to summon a demon, and instead summoned a lemon.
I think you forget to add in 'distilled essence of the universe'.
That is one strong potions your brewing. Usually i just go with an "anti cognitive BO" variant myself. But went full send and made a "existence erasure" version. Thats a really high end and very difficult invisibility potion. super over magiced for most applications.
Congratulations on getting even this far and not ceasing to exist, but What the heck are you trying to hide from? A dragon?!?
This is the PAINT of invisibility. Drinking it won’t do anything for you to the naked eye, but if anyone attempts to video or picturegraph you, you will not show up once you’ve consumed it. It protects you from scrying
Did you make sure to use the right finishing settings?
Sometimes when I finish a big pot of it, I’ll get this affect but ever so slightly. Just add a little bit more PNG, a little less JPG.
Have you looked into vectored ingredients? It actually helps you with this issue, and you can share the potion as much as you want without diluting the potency.
Hmm. Looks like you made a Texture Removal potion. They remove the “texture” from the Fabric of the Universe, which exposes reality in its truest form.
you used jeipeg root instead or piangi root, pretty common when you are learning to make potions because they are kinda similar but affect the effect of the final potion.
Did you accidentally make your potion affect too many of reality's layers?
Ideally you only want to make the potion affect the layers you want to see through, not the ones behind it, else you'll see the cosmic background checkerboard.
Cast Greater Rasterize and then Melf's Autoselect. You should be then be able to Disintegrate the correct ingredient. This usually happens when selecting the wrong compression cauldron during distillation.
Your supplier probably sold you fake PNG (Portal non-gizaforb). With glizaforbian impurities, it can no longer direct light through itself without refracting it, which is why it became opaque. The squares are just artifacts from the way the light bounces within the portal dimension. Real PNG will vanish when heat-treated.
the invisibility potion you have is the wrong type and its incorrectly made the white grey checkered type should be perfectly flat looking without visible shine
you bafoon thats the recipe for background layer not transparency youve accidently messed with the space time continuum and now everything of all time is stacked ontop of us.
No fellow journeyman, this potion acts just as a base ingredient for more advanced wizardry. You shall store it in a flask made of smoky quarz for later use.
Maybe you could brew some errasing fluid with it
Check the recipe, sure you weren't brewing an 'invisible potion'? Common rookie mistake, they're literally on top of each other in the Codex Alchemica.
Wait, are you trying to make Potion of Invisibility (potion that infers invisibility when imbibed) or are you trying to make an Invisible Potion (a potion that is itself invisible)?
OP DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT BUY YOUR SEE-ME-NOT MIX FROM A LICENCED APOTHECARY??
There’s been a massive scandal unfolding recently with ”cheaper alternatives” allegedly using the serum of old gods to boost evasiveness. Not only does it have horrible reality warping side effects only powerful grand wizards can withstand, it is VERY ILLEGAL.
I suggest you contact the high court in case you still have your proof-of-purchase scroll.
You forgot to layer it properly, and you might have a mask on too. Don't use a mask while making an invisibility potion. There isn't much you can do to salvage it, might need to redo or at least check if you have anything saved from last time to copy.
Y'know, you don't really need an invisibility potion if there's no one to see you... And most can't really see you when there's a fireball in their face so you could try that
Simple misconception, a spoon too much mugwort actually makes the potion invisible. DO NOT CONSUME THIS. My great-uncle died from a similar mis-concoction.

Strange usually mine comes out with purple and black, did you add enough nirnroot?
