Potions of gain energy are largely useful for spellcasters and alchemy.

Depending on whether it's blessed or uncursed, it will give you from 2 to 11 spell points and exercise your wisdom. If this increase will take you over your maximum spell points, it will increase your maximum by the same. Cursed potions will decrease your power ("You feel lackluster"), but still exercises your wisdom.

Alchemy

For alchemy, mixing a potion of gain energy and a healing/extra healing will "upgrade" them to an uncursed and diluted potion of extra healing or full healing, respectively. If you dip a potion of confusion into gain energy, you will get a potion of enlightenment or booze, with booze occurring two times out of three.
