Where do we have evidence that 3eye is a "far advanced" potion? He did not have the "Bloodline Curse", though the curse he used did have a similar effect, it did not target a bloodline. He had a demon summoned, it is possible that the bound demon was compelled to tell him something about curses, or even potion making. Or it could have been another demon that he summoned. All of this is speculation, of course.
Edit:
I looked it up, and from Changes Chapter 21...
(click to show/hide)Odin does give a strong implication that the Bloodline Curse and the one Sells used were very similar. Vadderung said "The sorcerer who used that spell in Chicago before didn't have the strength enough to make it spread past the initial target." That could mean that Sells Spell is the exact same spell as the Bloodline Curse and Sells just needed more power to go bloodline, but it doesn't mean that that the spell would not need to be changed as well as need more power to go bloodline. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on, since we know Harry (and therefore us) have only a small portion of the picture.

--- Quote from: Me Grimlock King on June 29, 2011, 04:03:57 PM ---So basically, the whole series and everything that harry has gone up against so far, has been to try to get Harry to leave the White Council, and join "someone". I would say that sounds like overkill just to get Harry. I also think that it was overkill to set up the outrageously powerful Bloodline spell just to take out EB, but that's me.

Think like the "bad guy"
SF - VS, three eye. Hrmm, we got thwarted there. Good thing we have
FM - Wolfbelts. Tried to take out Marcone(why?), thwarted agian..."WTH is going on!"
GP - Bianca/Mavra/Kavros - "What do you mean our new Countess is dead? "
/leap/
DB - necromancers. "No god/God for us...that guy in Chicagao is getting pretty annoying, maybe we should kill him..." (of course they can't out and out kill him. That would make the WC investigate)
PG - Take Molly/Take on Mab - "what do you mean Summer got involved?!? we really need to kill that guy"
WK - culling of the kine - "damnit! he stopped us again, and we lost some vampires in the process."
SmF - Marcone/Archive - "we didn't get Marcone, we didn't get the Archive. Ok, really we need to kill this guy. Who can we get?"
TC - Shagnasty- "OMFG!!! He survived again?!?! ok, time to be more direct."
Changes - (click to show/hide) Maggie kidnapped, big spell to kill Ebenezer, take out the Red King, take out the Fellowship. "All of them? ok that does it" Bang Dead Wizard
All to get Harry to turn? No. For the bad guys though, he's kicking their butts and he doesn't even know what the end game is yet.
Lord Rae:
I can see Cowl as teaching Victor about the drug so that he could sow chaos and fear in the city as part of the groundwork for the DB and the ascension ritual.
wildone654:
I think the fact that Harry, an admittedly young yet still powerful and knowledgeable enough to be on the WC Wizard, thought the potion to be literally impossible implies it is very advanced. I mean we are talking about a guy that makes fire, a potion that made everyone ignore him, and another one that was like super lust in a bottle. If he thinks something is impossible to do(not for him but for anyone), it must at the very least be incredibly hard to do.
Vryce:
Im personal belief is that 3rd-eye is a failed experiment to get sight to normal people so they can see the truth of the magic around them. Given a evil twist and poof its also additive. Maybe a wizard trying to get the world to belive in magic again. Or someone trying to start the next witch trials.
But ya failed experiment that could make baddies make money. Think Vector was being used to try to make 3rd eye better.
