A '''potion of blindness''' makes you [[blind]]. If you drink one, it will make you blind for 250-450 (more) turns (if blessed, subtract 125; if cursed, add 125). Dipping a [[unicorn horn]] into this, a [[potion of confusion]], or a [[potion of hallucination]] will produce an uncursed [[potion of water]].

A drunk potion of blindness makes you blind for a duration dependent on its BUC status, as shown below.

Blessed Uncursed Cursed
125–324 250–449 375–574

Blindness is generally undesirable, but protects against gaze attacks and lets you use intrinsic telepathy. A blindfold or towel is preferable, due to togglability and permanence. For advice on how to cope with blindness, see zen.

Dipping a unicorn horn into one of these will produce an uncursed potion of water.

A potion of blindness can be thrown at monsters to blind them.

Due to a bug, (alternate)wielding this potion nullifies the blindness attack of Archons and yellow lights.
