The Careful Initiate is a level 1 Monk. In its gear it lists two potions of magic weapon.
I'm wondering if these are meant to be oils instead of potions, as oils would be more logical:
1) You can't drink the potion and make all the weapons you are carrying become temporary +1 weapons.
2) The spell description of Magic Weapon has a target of 'weapon touched'.
However, further reading the spell description states:
You can’t cast this spell on a natural weapon, such as an unarmed strike (instead, see magic fang). A monk’s unarmed strike is considered a weapon, and thus it can be enhanced by this spell.
^ So now I'm not sure if the potion thing was intentional or not, as the way I'm reading it, a monk could drink this potion (instead of using an oil) to give his unarmed strikes +1 enhancement.
The monk in question has other weapons, so if it was an oil it could be applied to any of the NPC's weapons.
So my question is, is meant to be an oil of magic weapon or was the potion not an oversight and was intentional to limit it to the monk's unarmed strikes?
