+Dipping [[artifact]]s or other types of items have no effect and will not consume the potion.
 Quaffing the potion can be tempting, as many of the intrinsics are otherwise unattainable and can be quite alluring such as magic resistance and reflection. However, with such a variety of options, it's highly unlikely that you will obtain specific desirable intrinsics while risking dangerous ones such as polymorphitis and slowness. It's probably better to use this to give ordinary, replaceable equipment properties, as they can be easily discarded if they gain a useless or harmful property.
