Potions

Potions
Syntax: quaff <potion>

QUAFF consumes a potion in your inventory, unleashing its magical effects (both good and bad) on you and you alone. At lower levels, only the good effects of a potion are executed.

What level is this protection good through? Is it good for random and limited potions?

Potions come in two types - Limited and Random. Limited potions have effects not informed by their description. Some exist as clever ways to fool the unsuspecting into using the wrong potion in their inventory.

To quickly get random potions, use the merchants. Buy a potion, if it isn't what you want sac it, and buy another. If a potion is random, the effect can be determined by the color descriptions per the list below:
Note: '3.x' denotes that it is a spell for that color if that is a remaining version 3 potion.
