A potion is a flask, bottle, or phial of liquid with magical
properties, or occasionally some other liquid (such as acid or
booze). Quaffing a potion bestows the full effects upon the
quaffer. Some potions can be thrown at other creatures in order
to affect them instead. Even if you miss, the vapors created
(most potions are alcohol-based) sometimes affect those in the
vincinity. Certain potions can be dipped in other potions to
create various effects and/or new potions. Dipping a potion into
water will dilute it; a second dip will change it to water.
Dipping a unicorn horn into a potion also changes it to water.
