Monster use Will not be used by monsters.

A potion of monster detection will show all monsters on the current level when quaffed.

  • A blessed potion will show all monsters on the map for 21–60 (more) turns.
  • An uncursed potion will show just the monsters against a black background.
  • A cursed potion will aggravate all monsters on the level.

If you already have 300 or more turns of monster detection, a blessed potion will only add one more.

If you quaff a non-blessed potion while there are no monsters on the current level, you will receive the message, “You feel threatened.”
