Welkynd stones

[mdtexeira]

I don't know if this is possible, but I was thinking that it might be nice if you were given a choice when you use Welkynd stones, either to refill your mana, or to add to your mana pool. obviously, the abundance of these stones would require some thought as to how to keep some semblance of balance. for successful alchemists, the stones are otherwise not that useful, since we often have an abundance of restore magicka potions (which may or may not also make us invisible). I was thinking something small, like 5 mana, or perhaps a quantity somewhat determined by either or both of your intelligence or willpower, giving the player incentive to hold the stones for later rather than use them for an early mana boost. it would also give non-mage characters something useful to do with the stones as well.

anyway...anyone out there want to tell me if this is realistic or not?

 

thanks for any consideration you apply to this idea.
