I notice it happens frequently after I use Observe to expend all of my CP and add steps, but I make sure to still have charges left on SH when I finish with basic synth.

I'm just trying to find out if there's any reason why this wouldn't work as intended. If there isn't then perhaps I should be reporting this as a bug, lord knows there's still enough of those things cropping up.
This right here tells me that u don't have a good grasp of how crafting works.

1. You are probably using basic touch instead of basic synth
2. you are are using basic syth with 10 durability left and your 1 basic syth cannot complete the progress (botch synth)
