== Tips ==
*The skill will activate a random potion when another potion is consumed. Any potion can be consumed for the effect to trigger, even one that is not a witcher potion, like Pops' mold antidote.
*However, this skill cannot activate more than 1 potion at a time, meaning that the previous potion must wear off first before another can be activated.
**The only exception to this rule is White Honey as it will activate the skill each time, but only because it will remove the effect of the previous potion.
**It is also possible to overwrite the previous potion with the same one in which case another random potion will be activated.
*This skill only seems to activate the "base" versions of potions even if all potions have been upgraded to "superior" levels
**The duration of the selected potion will also be at it's base level, meaning it will ignore the duration boosts provided by all alchemy skills including this one
