Especially when it only does 4 ER refill, which means refilling your ER in combat time isn't particularly probable even if you have a bushel basket of the potions handy.
That's actually a good point, though I'd let it replace 5 points of mana per ounce. I think that's the whole issue in a nutshell summed up, really. Why carry a external mechanism when you have a internal one at your disposal? Does RPM need a paut-like external enhancer? No, I don't think so for most cases because it's just too easy to refill it on your own when needed. The question of combat-time does come up, but in most instances you're probably throwing charms vs. actual casting so the point is mote there as well.
