A smoky potion is one of the randomly-generated colors of potion; it can be any type. However, it is noteworthy because it has a chance of summoning a djinni upon quaffing.

Quaffing a smoky potion has a 1/(13 + 2*djinn created in the game) of releasing the djinni.[1] This djinni may be peaceful, may be hostile, or may grant you a wish. Blessed smoky potions have a 4/5 chance of granting a wish, uncursed potions have a 1/5 chance, and cursed potions have a 1/20 chance.[2]

Because of this, it is worth blessing and quaffing all smoky potions, even if they are an otherwise useless or harmful type. In some cases, precautions must be taken; for example, if smoky potions are invisibility, you will need a way to deal with the permanent invisibility intrinsic.

Also note; Djinni can be summoned when a monster quaffs a potion. It is unknown of the Djinni can be tame, or grant wishes if this occurs (although it can be peaceful.

Milky potions

Milky potions behave similarly to smoky potions in that they have a chance of containing a ghost. The ghost will always be hostile, and unless you are blind when you quaff the milky potion you will be "terrified, and unable to move" for three turns.
