In
NetHack, a mostly
dangerous potion that causes
paralysis
when
quaffed. If the potion is
blessed, the paralysis lasts for 13 to 22 turns; if
uncursed, 25 to 34 turns; if
cursed, 37 to 46 turns (this is a probably a
death sentence if anything hostile is near you). In all cases, your
Dexterity is abused. The paralysis is ineffective if you are wearing a
ring of free action or possess the equivalent
intrinsic.
This potion is obviously much more useful as a projectile weapon. The target is paralyzed for 1 to 25 turns. Inhaling the vapors paralyzes you for 1 to 5 turns.
