{{flavour|This spell removes poison from the caster's system.}}

'''Cure Poison''' is a level 2 [[Poison Magic]] spell which removes a significant amount of [[poison]] from the player.

Characters which are poison immune ([[Gargoyle]]s and [[undead]] species) cannot cast this spell.

Unlike all other Poison Magic spells, [[the Shining One]] does not get upset when you cast Cure Poison.

==Strategy==
Cure Poison can be life-saving in the early game, against early [[adder]]s, [[water moccasin]]s and the like. It can also be good in branches full of poison, namely the [[Lair]], [[Spider's Nest]] and [[Snake Pit]].

However, the effect is very niche. Unlike poison resistance, it does nothing against poison impact damage ([[Spit Poison]], [[Venom Bolt]], [[Poison Arrow]]). It takes a turn to cast, meaning the actual combat uses are limited. Plus, outside of a few branches, poison isn't especially common. And a [[potion of curing]] can do the same thing. But you might as well have this spell if you don't care about the [[spell level]]s. Some characters ''do'' care about spell levels, and will want to [[scroll of amnesia|forget]] this spell quickly.

[[Deep Dwarves]] prefer this spell, as it can prevent them from being damaged.

==History==
*Cure Poison was removed in [[0.19]].
*In very early versions of Crawl, this belonged to the [[holy spell school]].
