Potion remembering

Potions can now be identified after being quaffed. You will not retain knowledge of all potions you've ever quaffed, only the most recent ones. The number of potions you can remember and identify is determined by your mental stats.

As an example, if you have three potions and two are bulls strength and the third is cure light you won't know what any are. Once you drink one of the bulls strength potions, you'll know then that the other bulls strength potion is a bulls strength potion, but you still won't know what the cure light potion is (until you quaff another cure light potion).
I am confused. All potions are going to be unmarked bottles/flasks now? If so, why wouldn't Nysan know whats in that potion he just brewed?

You do not need to change the world, merely leave it a little better than how you found it.

This change does not affect brewing in any way, it is for potions which are not pre-identified with the ' of X' that home-brew gives you. Ie, find a potion of brown sludge in a sewer somewhere, if for some reason you have already drunk one to discover that it contains sewerage, this will be reminded to you to prevent you from trying again.
