The potion of quenching thirst does nothing when drunk. It is consumed normally but produces no effect or identifying message in any BUC state.
Generation and appearance
It is a common level-0 member of the random potion pool and receives one of the shuffled container descriptions each game. Random copies begin uncursed with a generated nonnegative plus. Its zero recognized value prevents it from being accepted into pawn-shop stock.
Data and mechanics
Each copy weighs 20, has fragility 5, a base value of 0 Au, and item level 0. Quaffing it has no effect beyond consuming the potion.
Effects and interactions
| BUC state | Result |
|---|---|
| Blessed | No effect; consumed without identifying itself. |
| Uncursed | No effect; consumed without identifying itself. |
| Cursed | No effect; consumed without identifying itself. |
The usual drinking message still appears and one potion is removed from inventory. Plus and blessing can change its sale value or resistance to item damage, but drinking it remains fruitless.
Strategy
Once identified, it has no direct tactical use. Do not spend a blessing on it, because no BUC state changes what happens when it is drunk. It also never appears in pawn-shop stock, so shop inventory cannot help identify it.
Trivial
The promise of “quenching thirst” contrasts with the complete lack of an effect. Its cursed label is “Antinomy!”, but no more specific explanation of that joke is known.
