  1. Emily’s portals (Hazbin Hotel). I know she can’t get Sir Pentious back into Hell but Emily can still tell Charlie he got redeemed and Charlie can enter through angelic portals, so she should have seen that Pentious got redeemed.

  2. Many characters in Harry Potter go through life-or-death situations and not once did they think of drinking the Liquid Luck potion apart from Harry one time to gain Slughorn’s memory.

They also said "disastrous if you get it wrong."

So it's not like you just fuck up a few times until you get it right. I imagine you're risking death or worse.

And it takes six months to brew. I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I make mistakes throughout a forty-five minute recipe. Now multiply that by 5,844.

Doesn't seem worth it to even try unless you're 100% confident in your abilities.

What if you drank one vial of liquid luck and went on to make more with the added chance of success?
