Potions have become essential possessions for the more powerful Avalonians. They can be purchased often from Cassiandora Square marketplace, from Chapman's Square and from near the Thakria Square. An individual potions typically holds fifty draughts and can be drunk using QUAFF <potion>. You can list the potions you hold by typing POTIONLIST.
