This might belong in the modding questions thread, but it's a bit wordy so I figured I wouldn't force all that scrolling on people just browsing and such. Anyway, my problem is this: I'm trying to create a drink, food or animal that can bestow magical powers upon my dorfs, but have run into a few walls.
The first thing I tried was just turning the appropriate material:

into a drink, which would then give them the power upon drinking it, but that doesn't work for some reason.

The drink is made and drunk, but there don't appear to be any side-effects.
The second thing I tried was creating a product which would evaporate and give them powers through inhalation, but that just ended up with magma.

Another thing I tried with that reaction was turning dogs into familiars whose meat would carry the syndrome if eaten, but the magma issue prevented me trying that.
Finally, I tried just making a creature, but that killed the game, which I kind of expected to be honest.
As a side note, I do know that the syndromes themselves work, because I also put them in secrets as a healthy alternative to necromancy for the immortality inclined.
