Description
Potions and poisons in vanilla Skyrim are odd. They're sorted haphazardly, with several different naming schemes across the various types. Potion recipes sometimes refer to ingredients that don't exist. Finally, Restore potions are so powerful and abundant that the only challenge in many fights is rushing to the inventory.

These are the problems that this collection of mods addresses. Potions and poisons are sorted from strong to weak using a uniform set of descriptors. Potion recipes teach you the ingredient effects revealed, and they include a larger variety of effects. Lastly, an animation is played when you drink a potion, which prevents potion spamming and adds believability.
