All the spell critical and spell potions are broken, they do not give any special bonuses, just the magicka refill.
Tried with 3 types of potions, which can give these two bonuses, neither buff spell damage or spell critical.

"Sorcerer is for me a definition of the highest level of magician, what does not mean pets, but pure magic, pure spells.
Pure magic from the heart, through the blood, to the last hairbreadth...
Sorcerer means the highest magic killer with pure magic, not the weakest grandmamma's pet farm."

    I have the same issue with the spellcrit from the championsystem (the apprentice). I spend points for 8,9% crit, but diddnt see any change in my Charakter window.

    Cause it increases spell critical damage, you don't see this bonus. (base is x1.5)

    Exactly, the 12% spell critical chance is when you use 30 points there, and it is a given passive in the three.

    But the potions with spell damage and spell critical are broken as well.

    There was a known bug in 1.6 (supposedly fixed in 1.6.1) that if you had any of the buffs that the Potion gives you couldn't use the Potion at all.

    Are you sure? I play with the german client and it tells me: "Increases your chances for critical spellstrike and healings by 8.9%."
    Nothing about critical damage. Another translation bug?

    It must be a translation bug because it read critical Damage/Healing when NA had it's turn on PTS.

    I've tried making Essence of Spell Critical Potion, gulped it and check my character page, and I do not receive buff "Major Prophecy".

    So is it still bugged? For years?

    Its a new bug.

    There are some strange things happen with minor and major buffs when you swap weapons and have a activ pot running.

    Last test i had 13% uptime major sorcery and pot was running all time...

    Are you quite sure you aren't using a skill or passive that gives you major prophecy? Same issue happens with Weapon Damage and Rally users... No extra damage cause you can't stack Major brutality.

    necro'd.
    its an old issue that may or may not have been on pts

    check to make sure you aren't running something like igneous weapons or sap essence, as they give major sorcery. plus it may be that you have inner light on your bar already
