Potion of magic: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:34, 22 October 2025

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A valuable potion which grants a person with an infusion of magical energy.

Quaffing a potion of magic restores 10-37 magic points, 9 + 3d28/3^[1], strongly biased towards the middle values.

All Mage backgrounds (Hedge Wizards, Conjurers, etc.) start with a potion of magic in their inventories.

This potion is quite rare and immensely useful for spellcasters.

If you can spare a few turns of confusion, potions of ambrosia can be used to regenerate MP instead, saving the more valuable potion of magic.

In 0.18 alone, Pakellas gifted potions of magic to its followers.
Prior to 0.5, the potion restored all magic points and had one in three chance of increasing max MP by one.
