Arya, what you're describing still would not work. It would either produce a devil or a manticore if they had sex with a girl (even a temporary one), and like I said before, here and elsewhere, if anything other than a deep, soul-twisting need could produce an alp, then alps would outnumber incubi -- and probably be the single most numerous monster type in the world. There is also the fact that once those potions wear off, there is a very real chance that even if it worked as they hope, their victim would pull off a murder-suicide (or just a couple of murders). It's not impossible for it to work, but for that to happen, they'd have to have gotten lucky and grabbed a man who would have gone alp even without their intervention.
