One interesting aspect of identifying a potion of oil is that if you have no applicable items apart from an unidentified potion of oil then when you hit "a" NetHack asks you "What do you want to use or apply [*]" which can be used to indirectly identify a potion of oil in a shop without buying it. --82.18.65.37 23:04, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Lit Potion of Oil

The highlighted method of identification is apply the potion of oil to light it; but, oil doesn't work on charge system like a can of grease. How does setting the potion alight (once) affect its subsequent applications? --FJH 18:54, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
