| A vile and putrid cursed liquid which causes your flesh to decay before your very eyes. |
Quaffing a potion of decay will make characters without rot resistance immediately lose 1d10+9 max HP (as though they had suffered rot damage). You can repair this damage by healing yourself while already at full HP. Undead characters are unaffected.
History
Prior to 0.12, the loss of max HP occurred over time through the rot status effect. Also, the potion was useful when coupled with Evaporate, an obsolete spell that would allow you to turn potions into harmful clouds.
The following methods for generating potions of decay have been removed in recent versions:
- Mummy death curses could convert other potions (Unknown version)
- Casting Sublimation of Blood on a potion of blood (Unknown version)
- Casting [[Fulsome Distillation on any rot-inducing corpse or some contaminated corpses (ogres and other large monsters) (Removed in 0.12)
