The potion of breathing grants temporary magical breathing that prevents ordinary drowning and poison-cloud inhalation. A cursed copy is a potion of choking that deals 50 unstoppable damage.

Effects and interactions
| BUC state | Result |
|---|---|
| Blessed | Adds 7 breathing units and identifies itself. |
| Uncursed | Adds 6 breathing units and identifies itself. |
| Cursed | Deals 50 unstoppable drowning damage and does not identify itself. |
Positive breathing makes the ordinary drowning check report that breathing is unaffected instead of forcing inventory shedding and possible death. It also negates the automatum minor's poison-cloud poisoning. Special acid-fluid handling explicitly remains dangerous and does not treat breathing as protection.
Strategy
Drink a verified noncursed copy immediately before underwater or poison-cloud exposure; blessing adds only one unit. Do not generalize the status to all liquids, because the water station warns about breathing and still reduces HP to one. A cursed test costs a fixed 50 HP.
