Items

Many items take the form of consumables. This page covers potions, scrolls, and mushrooms. Potions can be quaffed, scrolls can be read, and mushrooms can be eaten. These items have random appearances, can be bought in town, and often spawn in stacks up to 5^C. Some items are *items*, with asterisks around their names. ~~It is unclear what this means.^G~~ This usually means they have more powerful or different effects than their base items. *Items* are not identified when their counterparts are.^H

Potions

Potions can be quaffed. Most potions provide 1% nutrition.^C Some potions, especially harmful ones, can be thrown,^C but that doesn't guarantee it will have an effect^E.
