| This spell extracts the vile and poisonous essences from a corpse. You probably don't want to drink the results. The type of the potion produced corresponds roughly to the effects of eating said corpse. |
Fulsome Distillation extracts essences from a corpse into a potion. The potions produced are mostly used as ammunition for Evaporate. The potions produced will be identified if necessary.
| Corpse | Potion |
|---|---|
| Yellow wasp | Slowing |
| Red wasp | Paralysis |
| Clean | Water |
| Contaminated | Confusion |
| Poisonous | Poison |
| Mutagenic | Mutation |
| Rot-Inducing | Decay |
Additionally, monsters with sufficiently strong poison attacks (such as water moccasins or scorpions) will give potions of strong poison, while contaminated corpses which weigh 90.0 aum or greater (includes large monsters like ogres, giants, sharks, etc.) will give potions of degeneration. Corpses which are both contaminated and poisonous will give potions of poison regardless of size.
The spell will fail if you are levitating over a corpse without controlled flight ("You can't reach the corpse!").
Warning! Casting this spell on an orc corpse is considered desecration, which may cause problems if you are a Beoghite!
Tips and Tricks
- You will rapidly accumulate far more potions than you can carry. Stash most of them, carrying 3-5 of each type you want. Note that almost nothing will pick up these "bad" potions, so you can usually just leave them around the level. (Jellies notwithstanding!)
- Note that swamp drakes and swamp dragons just give ordinary poison. So do green rats or kobolds, and those come in swarms.
- Necrophages and vampire mosquitos both give the powerful potion of decay.
- Spriggans might consider distilling potions of water for nutrition.
- If you like mutation roulette, sky beasts, ugly things, and shapeshifters can give you all the potions of mutation you want.
- The corpses that yield confusion potions are common early, but thin out rapidly later. One response is to learn Mephitic Cloud as well. Despite the apparent redundancy, this will relieve you of carrying a big stack of potions for your most popular cloud.
