Strategy
The number of potions you can use is limited by the number you can find and carry. The spell however is weightless and unlimited, this makes it much more useful. Since the spell is non-combat it is usable even with a fairly high failure rate. Even better, it shares it's spell school (divination) with magic mapping and identify, two other excellent spells.
If you can, you should use this spell.
