A potion of enlightenment allows you to momentarily see your intrinsics and other attributes.

If the potion is blessed, it has the added effect of gaining one point each of intelligence and wisdom. Both blessed and uncursed potions exercise wisdom. However, a cursed potion does nothing except abuse wisdom - not even providing enlightenment.

Alchemy

Main article: Alchemy

Despite its good natural uses, the potion of enlightenment is usually saved for alchemy as it can be used in a recipe to create potions of gain level.

As will all alchemy, there is a 1/10 chance of an alchemic blast, where the mixture will explode. The blast will take 1 to 10 HP from you, and it will generate vapors from the potion being dipped. The blast will also abuse your strength.[1]

The following table taken from the Alchemy page shows the appropriate recipes involving potions of enlightenment.

To make Use these ingredients
  1. potion of confusion + potion of gain level or
  2. potion of confusion + potion of gain energy
