It can be done, try linning up, and then backing up a little, it is tough to get in just the right spot.  Are you using arrows or magic, I don't remember wich I used on that vase.  Good Luck!

Ok, I see the vase in the Bloodstone Master's room, but every time I try to fire a projectile at it, it stops short of the vase and disappears. I was able to break the vases that sealed the Serenity Master's room, but unless I can somehow find a way to unseal Bloodstone by hitting the vases, I'm stuck on this save, and I'll be royally pissed if this is bugged.

There are well hidden vases to shoot, one room is in the central area, the other is one that can be seen from two different labriniths.  If you can see into a room, shoot into it.  I had to get exactly the right distance from the window, and could not see the vase, just look for the somke.  It can be done, and this is a fun level.

Scratch what I said, I figured it out, I was directing myself in the wrong orientation by misreading the compass directions on the eyes. I cleared out the teleportal puzzle and seized the essence of fire and ringkey to the lower catacombs from the central room along with a crapton of elixirs.
