Mystic Condenser SE

I don't know about you, but I hate it when my higher-level characters keep finding low-level potions and poisons in chests, houses, dungeons, draugr, etc.  When you have 300+ HP, that potion that heals 25 isn't of much use.  Likewise, weak poisons aren't of much use against giants and dragons.  What can you do with them?  Take them home and fill your chests with them?  Sell them to the apothecary for a few coins?  Just leave them lying around?  And soul gems?  By the time you can enchant your own items to a better quality that you're finding, why keep all those filled petty soul gems, when all you want are grands?

Well, now you have another option.

The Mystic Condenser will combine 2 or more potions/poisons/filled soul gems of the same type into 1 or more of their higher-level counterparts, with no loss of efficacy.  For example, 3 standard Potions of Healing (restore 50 points of health each) will condense down to 2 Potions of Plentiful Healing (restore 75 points of health each), preserving the total 150 points of health, while taking up 0. 5 less weight (and being worth a few more septims as well).

The Mystic Condenser works on all standard potions/poisons/filled soul gems in the game.  It does NOT work on player brewed potions and poisons.  Additionally, the level of the potions or poisons that can be condensed is based on the player's level.  If you're not high enough level for the potion or poison to appear in the standard leveled lists, the recipe will not appear on the menu.  Also, if you don't have enough potions/poisons/soul gems to condense, the recipe will not appear on the menu.  This is to not fill your menu with greyed out items (currently there are 199 different combinations).

Where can you find these wonderful devices?  They are located in the palace of the Jarl of each hold.  They are usually to be found in each court wizard's work area, so if you don't find one immediately as you enter the palace, you may have to search a bit (I'm looking at you, Palace of the Kings!).  They can also be found in the College of Winterhold's Archmages Quarters, both Dark Brotherhood Sanctuaries (Dawnstar Sanctuary's is available after purchasing the "Poisoner's Nook" upgrade), and the Ragged Flagon Cistern.

What's that?  You don't want to have to keep going back to the Jarl to use a Condenser?  Well, if you have the ingredients, you can craft a "Mystic Condenser Token," which will allow you to place a Mystic Condenser anywhere you'd like.  To do so, first Save Your Game.  This is in case you end up placing a Condenser in the wrong place.  Second, click to "equip" the token.  DO NOT JUST DROP IT
