"Bottled spells" that don't recharge on a long rest but instead cost an arm and a leg and heal for a pittance, basically ensuring that in the time that it takes to gulp one down you've already taken twice as much damage than what it'll heal. I guess I get the idea but RAW, the potions are just awful outside of last resort to bring up downed characters (and that's assuming your GM has no problems making an unconscious character forcibly drink them).
You make a real good point. The movers cost plus lack of recharge already seems balance enough for it to be bonus action worthy. Honestly, it just means encounters can be either more frequent, dynamic, or epic. Not to mention a nice way to balance players’ wallets.
