No, that's the important distinction for game-world consequences, not game-play. The important distinction for game-play is what may have a psychologically damaging effect on the players of the game.

I don't see a distinction between the two, except that maybe the potion could be seen as legitimate depending on the source of the power. A Ulerian potion would be in a different moral category than an Eurmali-created one.
