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'.
