Need help with potions

[LadyLynn]

I feel dumb asking this but how do you use potions? I craft them and put them in a chest but when I go into battle, the USE button is greyed out. I tried hitting the REMOVE button after clicking on the chest, but the potions just disappeared so I'm thinking that was a bad idea. Can someone please explain how to use potions in battle?

when you pick your party for an upcoming battle you can see the potion to be picked up on the right.

Like this says. There is an option to assign up to 10 different potions to the team.
Just be aware that ones you do not consume in the fight are dropped on the ground and need to be picked up and stored again so if you are underground make sure you have the time to recover them. It might be possible to send your ghost to fetch them from beyond a ward but if a ward resets on top of them you will need to clear it again. Probably only happen if you leave them there for ages though but it is wise to just bump the priority for storage straight away.

Thank you so much. I can't believe I missed that...

As a side note, you can also select a mage and have them drink a potion in the normal game environment. I found it highly useful to keep a small chest of rejuvenation potions at the entrance to the underschool, and another in the infirmary, to easily heal up mages after a battle and reduce downtime/morale penalties.
