{{flavour|A potion which greatly increases the power of the drinker's melee attacks.}}

Quaffing a '''potion of might''' grants your character the [[might]] [[status effect]], adding +1d10 damage to your melee attacks for <code>34 + 1d40</code> (more) turns, with a hard maximum of 80 turns.<ref>{{source ref|0.32.1|potion.cc|272}}</ref> It does not stack with [[berserk]], which already gives might.

Might is roughly equivalent to +10 [[slaying]] without any [[to-hit]] bonus. (It stacks independently from slaying.)

{{crawlquote|''Quaff normally:'' You feel very mighty all of a sudden.<br>
''Quaff while Mighty:'' You feel mightier all of a sudden.}}

==Strategy==
Might doesn't improve [[Ranged Weapons]] or magic, but it is a reasonably strong buff for all types of melee. Use this before things get too hairy; you are more likely to win if you use the potion at 100% health rather than 50% health. Casters will want to carry them around, for emergencies where [[silence|they can't use spells]].

Might is relatively more valuable for characters who attack quickly and/or have multiple [[auxiliary attack]]s, as every attack receives the same +1d10 boost.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.25]], potions of might gave the player a +5 bonus to [[Strength]].
*Prior to [[0.12]], quaffing a potion of might while already mighty would give a point of [[magic contamination]].
