A '''potion of blood''' is a type of [[potion]] that appears in [[EvilHack]]. It always appears as a [[blood-red potion]] when [[Identification|unidentified]], an appearance it shares with the [[Potion of vampire blood (EvilHack)|potion of vampire blood]].

==Generation==
Potions of blood are only randomly generated for a [[Vampire (starting race in EvilHack)|vampire]] [[hero]], though they can also be [[wish]]ed for or found in [[bones]] by other heroes.

Vampire heroes in roles that start with [[food ration]]s or [[potions of sickness]] will have them replaced with potions of blood.

[[Vampire (monster class)|vampires]] have a {{frac|2}} chance of generating with blood-red potion that has a {{frac|3|4}} chance of being regular blood.

[[Mixing]] potions of blood with potions of fruit juice will turn the juice into blood.

==Description==
[[Quaffing]] the potion breaks [[vegetarian]] [[conduct]] and has different effects depending on if the hero is a [[Vampire (monster attribute)|vampire]] or not: a vampire that quaffs one will gain 200 nutrition for a blessed potion or 60 for an uncursed potion, while a cursed potion's contents will have congealed and give 0 nutrition, and a [[diluted]] potion gives half of the appropriate nutrition value. A hero that is not a vampire and quaffs a potion of blood of any [[beatitude]] will instead become [[nauseous]] for 10d8 (more) turns.

[[Dipping]] a [[unicorn horn]] into a potion of blood will turn it into an uncursed [[potion of water]].

Being subjected to the [[vapors]] of a broken potion of blood [[abuse]]s [[wisdom]] if the hero is a vampire, and abuses [[constitution]] otherwise.
