{{flavour|This spell extracts the vile and poisonous essences from a corpse. You probably don't want to drink the results. The type of the potion produced corresponds roughly to the effects of eating said corpse.}}

[[Fulsome Distillation]] extracts essences from a corpse into a potion. The potions produced are mostly used as ammunition for [[Evaporate]]. The potions produced will be identified if necessary.

Additionally, monsters with sufficiently strong poison attacks (such as [[water moccasin]]s or [[scorpion]]s) will give [[potion of strong poison|potions of strong poison]], while contaminated corpses which weigh 90.0 [[aum]] or greater (includes large monsters like [[ogre (monster)|ogres]], [[giant]]s, [[shark]]s, etc.) will give [[potion of degeneration|potions of degeneration]]. Corpses which are both contaminated and poisonous will give potions of poison regardless of size.

The spell will fail if you are [[Levitate|levitating]] over a corpse without [[Control Flight|controlled flight]] ("You can't reach the corpse!").

'''Warning!''' Casting this spell on an orc corpse is considered desecration, which may cause problems if you are a [[Beogh|Beoghite]]!

==Tips and Tricks==
* You will rapidly accumulate far more potions than you can carry. Stash most of them, carrying 3-5 of each type you want. Note that almost nothing will pick up these "bad" potions, so you can usually just leave them around the level. ([[Jelly|Jellies]] notwithstanding!)
* Note that [[swamp drake]]s and [[swamp dragon]]s just give ordinary poison. So do [[green rat]]s or [[kobold]]s, and those come in swarms.
* [[Necrophage]]s and [[vampire mosquito]]s both give the powerful [[potion of decay]].
* [[Spriggan]]s might consider distilling [[potion of water|potions of water]] for nutrition.
* If you like mutation roulette, [[sky beast]]s, [[ugly thing]]s, and [[shapeshifter (monster)|shapeshifter]]s can give you all the [[potion of mutation|potions of mutation]] you want.
* The corpses that yield confusion potions are common early, but thin out rapidly later. One response is to learn [[Mephitic Cloud]] as well. Despite the apparent redundancy, this will relieve you of carrying a big stack of potions for your most popular cloud.

==Warning==
Think thrice before worshipping Fedhas: Bottling up a corpse will place you under penance...

==History==
This spell was removed in [[0.12]]. In earlier versions, potions produced also depended on spell power and whether or not the corpse was rotten: rotten corpses produced 'better' potions (e.g. decay instead of confusion), while all potions had a chance to be downgraded at low spell power.
