== Notes and Trivia ==
*While having beneficial uses unlike the other potions Auntie Ethel has in her workshop, it is ''dangerous if not removed'' with Remove Curse before a Long Rest as there is no means to regain the lost strength.
*One of two unique potions in the Acrid Workshop which has any beneficial properties. Unlike [[Heart of Stone]] this has a harmful side effect if not removed. Possibly a reference to its name; 'Broken Promises'.
