 *Willpower is one of the few ways to prevent [[paralysis]], which is a ''brutal'' effect. If you have insufficient will from other sources, save some potions against foes who cast Paralyse.

+Flight allows you to pass over [[deep water]] or [[lava]] safely, and negates penalties from [[shallow water]]. It does not provide immunity to [[trap]]s. If the flight runs out while you're over invalid terrain, you don't die, but are [[drain]]ed for every turn you spend in said terrain.
-You are warned about a loss in buoyancy when the potion's effects are nearly over, giving you time to steer clear of hazards. If needed, you may extend your flight with another potion of flight.

-*A [[ring of flight]] provides permanent flight, but at the cost of a ring slot. If both ring slots are important, putting on the former might be a tough ask. The need for flight outside of the watery [[Swamp]] and [[Shoals]] is rare enough that these potions are often sufficient.
