    Potion of elements

    There are potions of resist cold, fire, poison... with the way that magic works (higher level magic etc.), Why is there no "potion of elements", which protect you from base 4 and poison?

    I know this would be a powerful potion, but it seems like a natural potion within the angband world... why does it not exist? (I understand the it's too powerful for the current game prefects, but).. really.... it should exist no?

    I like the idea. Or possibly even a staff of the elements. it would be nice for warriors. Obviously a higher level staff, but considering mage/rogue/ranger get the spell at 28ish (something like that) it wouldn't be terribly out of place.

      a chunk of Bronze {These look tastier than they are. !E}
      3 blank Parchments (Vellum) {No french novels please.}

        Or come to think of it, a potion of res lightning and a potion of res acid. Or perhaps scrolls would be more appropriate?

          I know Zangband has Potions of Resistance. I suspect they'd be very popular in no-selling games; being able to double-resist elements is surprisingly useful.
