Notes

Though slave masters might like the fact that the permanent personality changes wrought by these potent drug cocktails make those forced, coerced or tricked into drinking them, compliant with - even desperate for - perverted sex acts (i.e. the Corruption increase), a master who cares for his slaves might have second thoughts. Because the Taint incurred at the same time brings changes too - most of which are unpleasant for the imbiber, and maybe also for their master: memory is eroded (Academics and Science losses), the mind is clouded and personality lost (Intelligence and Charisma reductions), and physical appearance becomes less vital and alive (Beauty loss) - even as the imbiber becomes stronger and more fierce (Strength and Melee gains; Kindness loss). These changes are not big enough to have game effects except when they pass certain threshold levels (at Taint 24, 34, and 54) - at which point they make their effects obvious, and also become permanent. So the effect of each potion is approximately a couple of points change to each affected attribute, on average, though this only takes game effect via Taint thresholds. Except in the possible case of Yellow Queen devotees, people in possession of full knowledge of the effects of these potions are not at all likely to want to drink one, and members of the general public would view distribution of these potions as unethical and in no way a "good" act, unless deeply corrupted themselves.
