What Potion of Healing does

One use restores 4–10 HP, averaging 7 before your HP maximum limits it. Enter missing HP to see how much healing is likely to be wasted.
Healing cannot exceed the recipient’s HP maximum. A larger potion can restore more on average, but may waste more when only a few HP are missing.
