Flasks, Quality, and Enchantments

Flask crafting changes effect strength, activation behaviour, or quality, but every improvement belongs inside a charge and encounter plan. A stronger flask that is empty at the wrong time is not an upgrade.

FIELD RULEPlan effect, trigger, charge recovery, and replacement risk as one system.
