A '''potion''' is a vial or container holding a certain type of liquid. Potions are bottled versions of effects, such as those of a magical [[spell]], or healing [[herb]]. A character must {{boldmono|[[DRINK (verb)|DRINK]]}} a potion to gain the effects. It is also possible to apply a potion's effect to someone else using {{boldmono|[[POUR]]}} if the subject is incapacitated or dead.

== Tinctures ==

Small, potent, bottled preparations of medicinal [[herb]]s, these potions act just as their less concentrated herb counterparts. They are especially handy as replacements for herbs that cannot be [[BUNDLE (verb)|bundled]], like [[yabathilium fruit]]. Some herbs, such as [[brostheras potion]], are only effective in tincture form: the natural brotheras grass has no healing effect if digested directly.

''Tinctures are mechanically considered a subset of spell-embedded potions, using spells from the [[Former Empath Base]] circle.''

== Spell-Embedded Potions ==

Shopkeepers and [[alchemy|alchemist]]s may provide potions that hold magic spells, typically with a temporary defensive effect.

Unlike most other magic items, spell potions require no skill in [[Magic Item Use]] and do not incur any [[cast roundtime]] on activation. As a drawback to not taking skill training into account, there is also no way to increase their effect duration.

== Special Uses ==

Many other activities including [[enchanting]], [[Ensorcell (735)|ensorcellment]], and [[runestone]]s require the use of specialized potions.
