Arena:Potions

Potions in Arena produce a particular magic effect when drunk, and can be used to heal your character, boost resistances, or grant temporary abilities. To use a potion, click the Use Magic Item icon or press the U key and double-click on the potion you want to use from the list in the lower right-hand corner of the screen.

The potion effect is equivalent to the corresponding spell cast at level 16.

Potions can be bought from the Mages Guild or found as random loot. Any potions found as loot will be simply labeled "Potion" and will be colored cyan in your inventory. Like other magical items, these will need to be taken to a Mages Guild to be identified.
