Potions are magical drinks. They are denoted by an exclamation mark, ! and weigh 20. Some of them are very useful, some can be deadly. The effects of potions can be carried by drinking them or breaking them onto somebody by throwing it at them. Some potions can also be mixed together to form new potions — that is called alchemy.

A Unicorn horn can be used to help in identifying potions.
