 Cure Poison can be life-saving in the early game, against early [[adder]]s, [[water moccasin]]s and the like. It can also be good in branches full of poison, namely the [[Lair]], [[Spider's Nest]] and [[Snake Pit]].
-However, the effect is very niche. Unlike poison resistance, it does nothing against poison impact damage ([[Spit Poison]], [[Venom Bolt]], [[Poison Arrow]]). It takes a turn to cast, meaning the actual combat uses are limited. Plus, outside of a few branches, poison isn't especially common. And a [[potion of curing]] can do the same thing. But, you might as well have this spell, if you don't care about the [[spell level]]s. Some characters ''do'' care about spell levels, and will want to [[scroll of amnesia|forget]] this spell quickly.

 {{flavour|This spell removes poison from the caster's system.}}
-'''Cure Poison''' is a level 2 [[Poison Magic]] spell which removes a significant amount of [[poison]] from the player. Derided by some as useless, this spell functions as a makeshift [[potion of curing]], especially in the early game when you lack [[poison resistance]] and want to conserve your actual potions of curing. In branches of full of poison, such as the [[Spider's Nest]] and [[Snake Pit]], it can be very helpful for reducing the time you spend sitting around after fights, allowing you to conserve food and piety for particularly bloodthirsty [[god]]s. [[Deep Dwarves]] may also find it helpful in staving off damage taken from high levels of poison that can cut through their damage shaving.

-*Want to know the biggest difference between Cure Poison and poison resistance? While Cure Poison can be used to prevent a lot of damage due to the poison [[status effect]], it's next to useless against sources of direct poison damage. The [[Poison Magic]] of [[green death]]s and [[greater naga]]s will quickly reduce you to a horribly toxic corpse no matter how prepared you are to stop the damage over time.

-*Characters with poison resistance who have already cleared all poison-heavy locations may consider [[scroll of amnesia|forgetting]] this spell if they need more spell levels. Poison-immune characters, like [[gargoyle]]s or the [[undead]], can't learn it in the first place.
-*Unlike all other Poison Magic spells, [[the Shining One]] does not get upset when you cast Cure Poison.
