This magical draught allows the imbiber to retain the dweomer of the fluid for up to six turns before belching forth a tongue of flame. 

After the expiration of this time limit, however, the potion becomes impotent, and there is a 10% chance that the flames will erupt in the imbiber's own system, inflicting double damage upon him or her, with no saving throw allowed. 

Each potion container holds enough liquid for four small draughts. 

If a small draught only is quaffed, then the imbiber is able to breathe forth a 1" wide cone of fire up to 2" long which inflicts 3-12 points of damage. 

If a double draught is taken, range and damage are doubled; and if a triple draught is quaffed, then range and damage are trebled. 

If the entire contents are taken at once, then the width of the breath of flame is 2" and the length is 8", and damage inflicted is 5-50 points. 

Saving throws versus breath weapon apply, for half damage, in all cases.
