Shackling Potion
Debuff
Lose Strength until the end of this turn.
Shackling Potion is the temporary Strength loss from the rare potion Shackling Potion. When thrown, every enemy that can be hit loses 7 Strength at once and receives a Shackling Potion marker of 7. At the end of the enemy turn the marker is removed and the 7 Strength is handed back. Since you drink it on your turn, the loss covers exactly one enemy attack phase.

Notes
How the drain lands
Real Strength: the loss is real Strength, so an enemy at 0 goes to -7 and each of its attacks loses 7 damage, floored at 0, which makes the potion strongest against multi-hit attackers.- Late arrivals: enemies that arrive after the throw are unaffected.
Temporary: the marker is a temporary power, which debuff-counting effects such as Sleight of Flesh deliberately ignore.
Strength gained during it: an enemy that gains Strength during that turn keeps the gain when the marker is reversed.
Rules and timing
It takes away Strength when gained and gives the same amount back when it is removed, at the end of its owner's turn.
