Potion of heroism

Potions of heroism were a type of potion that instilled in people a surge of vitality and resilience.
==Description==
The liquid of this potion had a blue complexion. It seemed to continually bubble and steam as though it were boiling. And it had a bitter taste to it.
==Powers==
When quaffed this potion allowed individuals to fight as though they were more sturdy and experienced combatants, able to withstand greater harm. Some later iterations of the potion were described as having an effect similar to the spell bless.
In earlier eras, this potion was only effective on those who had the profession of a fighter or warrior. Later iterations of the potion were usable by people from all walks of life.
