Cure Poison is a level 2 Poison Magic spell which removes a significant amount of poison from the player. Derided by some as useless, this spell is useful as a makeshift potion of curing, especially when you lack poison resistance and want to conserve your actual potions of curing. You may want to forget it as soon as you have a reliable source of rPois, though.
Strategy
- Want to know the biggest difference between Cure Poison and poison resistance? While Cure Poison can be used to prevent a lot of damage due to the poison status effect, it's next to useless against sources of direct poison damage. The Poison Magic of green deaths and greater nagas will quickly reduce you to a horribly toxic corpse no matter how prepared you are to stop the damage over time.
- Unlike all other Poison Magic spells, the Shining One does not get upset when you cast Cure Poison.
History
In very early versions of Crawl, this belonged to the holy spell school. It is about the only such spell to not have been removed at some point.
