 '''Vapors''' are released when a [[potion]] shatters and can affect [[you]] if you are nearby. The effect is not usually as strong as if the potion had been [[quaff]]ed instead.

For this reason, you should be careful when throwing harmful potions at nearby opponents.
-Vapors can also be released if a potion you are carrying gets shattered by something that can vaporize it (such as a [[fire]] or [[lightning]]). Potions on the ground can be shattered by nearby explosions or blasts from harmful [[wand]]s. Similarly, bashing open a locked [[container]] can shatter potion bottles inside, releasing vapors. A potion can also break if dropped while [[flying]] or [[levitating]].

-When a [[potion]] is [[throw]]n and hits [[you]] or a [[monster]], it shatters (releasing '''vapors''') and takes effect, though the effect is not usually as strong as if the potion had been [[quaff]]ed instead.   If you are standing in a [[square]] adjacent to where the potion lands, you can still be affected by the vapors released.  For this reason, you should be careful when throwing harmful potions at nearby opponents.
