Potion of clarity

Potions of clarity were magic potions that cleared and fortified the imbiber's mind.

Description
Potions of clarity brewing process included pouring the piping-hot concoction over scorched pungent beans. The resulting potion had a strong smell and did not appear clear, contrary to its name.

Powers
These foul-smelling potions immediately after consumption cleared the drinker's mind, flooding them with overwhelming feelings of calm and purpose. That feeling persisted as long at the potions' effects remained active, fortifying the mind's defenses against mind-affecting magic spells and monster abilities, similar to that of the clarity spell.

History
Circa Year of the Banner, 1368 DR, a myconid potion brewer, the Concoctor, was forced to serve the eccentric drow Baeloth the Entertainer of the Black Pits in the Underdark. Potions of clarity were among concoctions the fungus-man was selling to the Black Pits' gladiators.

The same year, these potions were available for purchase from the Sorcerous Sundries of Baldur's Gate, the Temple of Helm, Roger the Fence, of Athkatla, Amn, Wallace of Trademeet, and the bazars of Ust Natha.

In the late 14 century DR, potions of clarity were wide-spread throughout the Sword Coast and the Moonsea regions.
