There is a difference. If you id or lore a potion or a pill, it has spell effects listed. Seaweed does not. It just does what it does without magic.
>Breathing 30 hours underwater is not. Maybe if they had something like an air-tank, but seaweed is just like yellow and black roots.
Please do not tell me they can use those now also. <
Roots have spell effects on them, ragers cannot use them or potions, its coded into the game this way.
>They get the most powerful powers in the game without any real drawbacks anymore. They get their cake and can eat it too.<
Most powerful powers with no drawback is debatable, and there's atleast 100 topics here you can comment on for that.
It may not make sense when you look at seaweed as one object, but consider in the grand scheme of the mud how every other object works, and you'll see very little that we consider logical in real life often does not apply on the mud. It just is what it is, for no other reason that for balance.
