Currently, Dwarven Tonic is arguably the most useless magical drink in the mod, only giving the user night vision for a few minutes. Often mining in certain biomes requires the user to use torches anyway to prevent orc spawning. It's utter uselessness is only emphasized by how obscenely overpriced it is. The Mithril nugget required to brew it is far more difficult to obtain than the stacks and stacks of torches that could be used instead. This combined with the relative uselessness of night vision in a game where you can still see fairly well in the dark, makes dwarven tonic not worth brewing. However, I have a solution.

Dwarven Tonic should give the user Night Vision for whatever amount it would have been before, but in addition should grant the user Mining Haste II for the same amount of time. This would make dwarven tonic highly sought after by the dwarves of middle earth, by enabling them to pull more riches out of the earth in less time. This would also give players a way to mine in a less time-consuming way, and would make Dwarven Tonic worth the mithril nugget used to brew it.
