 Quaffing a random potion is the most obvious way to figure out its contents, but may be dangerous. You'll want to be somewhere safe with no monsters in sight, in case of a [[potion of ambrosia]], [[potion of lignification]], or [[potion of berserk rage]]. [[Potions of degeneration]] and [[potions of mutation]] are also harmful, with effects that do not wear off by simply passing turns.

 Apart from using a [[scroll of identify]], there are several ways to determine the identity of potions you've picked up.
-You may guess at a potion's identity by the size of the stacks in your inventory. Potions of curing and potions of heal wounds are the two most common types of potions. Note that potions can come in batches of 2 or 3, which are treated as one item for purposes of rarity. This is, of course, nonconclusive - but may be useful to know in a dire situation.
