You can create potions of degeneration by casting [[Fulsome Distillation]] on most very large contaminated corpses.

Quaffing a potion of degeneration temporarily reduces a random stat (strength, dexterity, or intelligence) by 1-4 points. This can be very dangerous for species with very low stats, since reaching zero or less in a stat can cause stat death. For most species, the lost stats will recover over time, but you can immediately restore them by quaffing a potion of restore abilities. Xom is somewhat amused if you quaff an unidentified potion of degeneration, but this is almost impossible to do intentionally.

There was something very wrong with that liquid!
