making a polstice consumes the mortar and pestle

[KromeHWI]

just made my first poulstice and was shocked and annoyed to find that it consumed my mortar and pestle?!?

haveing used said device for similar purposes in real life, i feel that this should not happen. as if it were a tool (which it is), like a hammer, it should not be used up when used to create something. i know you can make them reletively easily, but still. needless consumption.

I agreed that it should'nt use the Mortar and Pestle

i know, its rediculous! i guess you could make an argument that once it has been used there will be residue of what you ground in it afterward which could "contaminate" other things you use it for, but this also doesnt really make sense. aside from the fact that even if this were an issue you could still use it to make the same polstice as you did originaly, but in fact, most people would say that a mortar and pestle isnt at its best until it has been "seasoned" by a lot of use.

its also annoying that you need ot be a lvl 2 carpenter in order to be an effective herbalist (or at least to make a polstice). makeing a mortar and pestle should not have a carpentry requirement (especially when it comes to knowing the recipy).

it would also make more sense to have it crafted form a stone and chisle (screwdriver) rather than a plank. a wooden mortar and pestle would be somewhat useless (so maybe it WOULD break after one use), but the image is clearly of a traditional stone/ceramic one. maybe they could have a recipy for making one from stone that would be more durrable than the quick and easy one with wood?
