{"id":26,"count":54,"description":"Potions are carefully prepared magical tonics which any character can use at any time; quaffing a potion requires no particular skill. Potions may have permanent effects such as stat gain or an experience bonus, give temporary benefits such as increased speed or the ability to see invisible monsters, or have an immediate effect that heals or restores the player. Potions are generally intended to affect the player, but if thrown or shattered they can in some cases also affect monsters. Since potions have no fail rates and can be reliably used even while blinded, confused or stunned, a healing potion is often the safest option in an emergency.\r\n\r\nPotions with bad effects are rare in today's Vanilla Angband; most of the original bad potions were removed in Angband 3.1.0, and the practical necessity of identifying potions by use-ID in Angband 4.1.0 and up makes it very unlikely that new bad potions will be added. (Sangband manages to accommodate both bad potions and use-ID by modifying the effects of potions when they're drunk unidentified.) Bad potions were fairly common in earlier versions of Angband, especially during the early game, and many variants retain more of them than Vanilla Angband does.\r\n\r\nPotions are consumables; with rare exceptions in some variants, a potion is fully consumed when quaffed and will disappear from the inventory.","link":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/categories\/potions\/","name":"Potions","slug":"potions","taxonomy":"al_product-cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/al_product-cat\/26","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/al_product-cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/al_product-cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/al_product?al_product-cat=26"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
