Strategy
Cure Poison can be life-saving in the early game, against early adders, water moccasins 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, poison isn't especially common (outside a few specific branches). 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 levels. Some characters do care about spell levels, and will want to forget this spell quickly.
Deep Dwarves prefer this spell, as it can prevent them from being damaged.
History
- Cure Poison was removed in 0.19.
- In very early versions of Crawl, this belonged to the holy spell school.
