Potion Script Effects

[Dyshein]

I'm trying to create some potions and poisons with script effects, but I'm having some problems with having potions use magic effect scripts; specifically, I can't seem to make the player cast a spell on himself. I've tried player.cast XXX player, playerref.cast XXX player, and I've even assigned the player to a variable and tried it that way, nothing seems to work. The CS wiki claims that it is possible to force a player to cast a spell on themselves, so how is it done? Or should I alternatively have the potion cast the spell (which I would imagine would be much harder than calling a static or an activator).
