Quaffing effects[]
| Case | Effect |
|---|---|
| blessed | Restores all lost statistics to their previous maximum amount. |

If the potion hits a monster, it is restored to maximum hit points.
If you breathe its vapors, the effects are as for quaffing.

Identification[]
This potion is completely safe to quaff, even if the BUC status is unknown.
Strategy[]
The effects of this potion are completely superseded by a unicorn horn, the only difference being that this potion is 100% reliable, whereas even a blessed unicorn horn has a chance of doing nothing. It is therefore a prime candidate for dilution.
SLASH'EM[]
In SLASH'EM, the potion of restore ability has an important new use: magical polymorphing is usually temporary, and items and monsters will revert to their original form with time. If you dip a polymorphed item into a potion of restore ability, its new form will be "fixed" and become permanent.
