A potion is a magical liquid which will affect anyone drinking it. There are many types of magical potion, with widely differing effects.

Any character with the Manufacture Potions skill may make a potion. The first stage in the manufacture of a magical potion is to gather and prepare all the necessary ingredients. Some of the more common ingredients may be available from a Pharmacist, Herbalist, or Alchemist in a large town, but the more obscure ingredients will be more difficult to obtain and could form the basis of a 'quest'. Special ingredients are noted in the entry for each potion type. As well as the collection and preparation of rare and exotic ingredients, certain magical operations may be necessary to enchant the potion.

Success indicates that the potion operates as desired; failure either results in a waste of time and ingredients or the creation of a Cursed Potion.
