Ambrosia

Template:Obsolete For the potion, see Potion of ambrosia. Template:Item Template:Flavour

Ambrosia was a curious food which provided 2,500 nutrition and could be eaten by any species at any level of satiety except Engorged. More interesting, however, were its two side effects:

• It greatly increased your MP regeneration for several turns
• It caused confusion like a potion of confusion (1d8+2 turns)

Fortunately, clarity provided immunity to the confusion effect, making this an excellent food for casters to eat before any large battle where automatic MP restoration might come in handy. Even without clarity, following it up with a potion of curing chaser would leave you with all of the benefits and none of the drawbacks. Unfortunately, it was extremely rare and could only be found in the Spider's Nest.
