The potion of confusion will make you confused for several turns.

Description

The duration of the confusion depends on the BUC of the potion[1]:

  • blessed: 8-16 turns
  • uncursed: 16-24 turns
  • cursed: 24-30 turns

Dipping a unicorn horn into the potion turns it into uncursed water, and dipping it into gain energy or gain level turns the potion into either booze or enlightenment.

Strategy

Reading scrolls while confused is sometimes useful. However there are many other sources of confusion that weigh less.

A monster threw the potion at you, so you are confused for 1 to 5 turns.
