Empty bottles are pretty pointless, "filling" them is VERY pointless.. and magically turning into different shapes is:
PHAYLEUR

Also, the best idea to put empty bottles into usage is "brewing" by yourself. Using different kinds of spells to brew potions.
"server: You put in herbs"
"server: You were able to brew a large potion".
This might be a good use of them, then turning into different shapes "ONLY" on spells will be a "little" useful.
And:
It also came to my mind that you could use "half" of a dye vial to dye your clothes in a way lighter color. So that you have clothes with different shapes. And then,
>> Color mixing: For example:
1 vial of yellow dye + half vial of dark green dye = Light Blue dye.
1 vial of dark blue dye + half vial of yellow dye = Dark Green dye
But I find it expensive, also cheap.
>> Printing patterns on your Tnecks/Vnecks/Shirts (Only for all kinds of "tops")
For example:
Guerrilla war
Tree pattern
Blueberries
Apple? (It'll look AWESOME)
Windows? (Yuck!!)
Also about the apple cores, they can be added to squirrels, mouboos etc.
And the flowers can then drop thorns (Hard Spike is different) which can then be used to make darts, and adding a
"blowpipe/Blowgun" to the game.
Also,
Snakes can drop "fangs" so as to make poison arrows. For example:
5 fangs to poison 100 arrows
50 fangs to poison 1000 arrows
100 fangs to poison 2000 arrows
<{[(SAME FOR DARTS)]}>
Then here are some new ideas for weapons:
Poisoned Dagger (Ingredients to make: Dagger, maggot slime, fangs and 1000 GP) but this is only for poisoning.
Crossbow, [Ingredients to make: Forest bow, 100 raw logs, silk cocoons (for the bowstring). Additional stuff: 5 iron ore and empty bottle ( for the scoping device which might add +XX to dex? sounds good to me).
NOTE: The bottle is to be used as a lens.
Then I also though there should be a little physics in this game, for example:
>> Arrows when shot, which miss the critters might then hit a critter lets say, behind it at 50% damage (slowed on the basis of speed it was launched at to hit the critter).
Slimes should drop "slime..." to be used in alchemy.
This way:
MOAR PEEPAL WILL TAKE INTEREST IN TMW!!!
