Naw

Would crack you all out

But it makes no sense it’s not consistently used as much as possible, exactly below the threshold for negative side effects. Anytime the good guys are fighting the bad guys. Anytime the bad guys are searching for good guys or trying to evade them. Whoever managed their liquid luck use better should’ve won.

Wait, so it gets you high on top of everything else? People would be using this even if it did nothing else, what the heck?

Stop it. Stop making me think about the stupid wizard thing. Not worth it. So dumb.

Indeed alcohol is a global best seller in our own world and for it to make you lucky someone else has to drink it too

Now that I think about it, Felix Felicis in the HP universe is basically an analogue to atium in the mistborn saga.

Mistborn did it a little better.

I thought the problem with that was that the side effects and duration are a bit unpredictable, so you can’t optimize use where you can be sure you’re acting under Felix and going with the flow is optimal vs it having worn off but you’re still giddy and reckless and going with the flow is fatal.

Though ocme or think of it I may have got that idea from a fanfic.

Oh I like that nerf! I think when it’s wearing off of Harry he just feels less and less lucky until he returns to normal. I only remember abuse leading to giddiness and recklessness. But that’s fun and appropriate!

Yeah, it was something like feeling less lucky and being less lucky not necessarily happening at the same time and if you think you’re under Felix you’ll roll with it because rolling with it is the best possible thing to do while the effect lasts. Until it doesn’t. Doing things like you’re under Felix when you actually aren’t is basically the epitome of being reckless, depending on scenario.
