Tales of Symphonia [Rune Bottles]

What are Rune Bottles? Rune bottles can be found throughout certain dungeons, and you can get them from killing (and or) stealing from Chimaeras on the Fooji Mtns, Undertakers in Gaoracchia Forest, Storm Claws in Ymir Forest, the big snake "Silver" in the Flanoir area, and other enemies that I'm just too lazy to list. But if you kill easier enemies, you can get a higher GP, and have a easier time obtaining items. Well now to answer my question.
Rune Bottles can be found in your "Gel Section" of your inventory. They are used to transform normal items in your inventory, to more powerful versions, or alternate versions of the original item. For example, an Apple Gel will turn into a more "powerful" form; a Lemon Gel. While Energy Tablets will turn into their "alternate" form; Spirit Bottles, which recovers Tp as opposed to Hp.
So you may be thinking, is it really worth it? Yes it is. Even though you still can find the "transformed" items, its much more useful early in the game. You can change Sages (which raises max Hp by 5%) to Red Sages (which raises max Hp by 10%), obviously a better choice. After such a lengthy explanation of what Rune bottles do, this is how to use them. Just go in your inventory, and click the Rune Bottle, and it will bring you to a seperate little menu with items that you are able to transform (Don't go looking for possible weapon transformations, as far as I know, you cannot do it).

Confused on how to read the table? Well the first column, Original, is the Original Item that you are wishing to transform. The second column, Transformed is the new item that the original one changed into. Then the third column, New Effects is the new effect of the item that was changed (not the original item's effects). And finally the fourth column, Type is when you can use your newly made items. The types are;
Any: These items can be used at anytime you wish. These are normally healing items like Gels or Life Bottles
Battle: Simply put, useable only in battle, and the effects will wear off when the fight is done.
Non-Battle: You can not use these items in battle, and can only be used when you are wandering the world map, or towns.
Equipment: Are accesories that can be equipped during battle, as well as out of battle.
