-The potion is useful to get the quick lay of a particular level upon entering it: while [[blind]]ing yourself to use intrinsic [[telepathy]] can achieve much of the same, monster detection will also reveal [[mindless]] monsters as well, including potentially dangerous ones such as [[gelatinous cube]]s and [[air elemental]]s. Monsters seen via blessed monster detection are also valid targets for advanced {{+ of|fireball}} and {{+ of|cone of cold}} spells, as long as they are already in the effective range of the spell. Some players save a few potions to bless and drink on the [[Astral Plane]] in order to locate and keep track of the monsters there and plot which high altars they should seek out first.
