| A potion which restores a small amount of health, and cures poison and confusion. |
Quaffing a potion of curing restores 4 + 1d7 HP (5-11 HP, 8 HP on average) and cures poison and confusion.
You feel better.
Strategy
These are best saved for times when you need to cure a negative status effect. If you need pure HP restoration, use a potion of heal wounds. However, these can be used as a last resort in lieu of other escape options. Just don't be surprised if whatever monster you're facing deals more damage than you've recovered. If posisble, it's better to retreat and heal through natural regeneration.
A single potion of curing is enough to cure poison no matter how severe it is. It might be more efficient to hold off on curing the poison until you've defeated everything nearby that can poison you, or until the poison starts doing noticeable damage per turn.
Do note that not all status effects are affected by potions of curing. If you're dealing with effects such as petrification, slowness, or an unwanted transformation, you'll want a potion of cancellation instead.
