|notes = *This is the only potion in Auntie Ethel's workshop with a short-term benefit and long-term detriment. | |||
**Attempting to {{SAI|Remove Curse}} the effect will trigger the detriment immediately. | |||
*If you absolutely must use the short-term benefit, the negative effect can be mitigated with the following, somewhat extreme strategies: | |||

** You could respec at [[Withers]] into a build that simply doesn't utilize strength. | |||

** You can also opt to simply not consume the potion until the final stretch of the game, when you had already taken your final long rest. | |||

*One of three unique potions in the Acrid Workshop which has any beneficial properties. Unlike the others, this has a harmful side effect if not removed.
