I was playing as Rashmi, the second character, on the small island. On the back of the island, i found a wild potion, stats got adjusted, all as normal. Then, while still under the effect of  the potion, i opened a chest with a shredding trap.  That changed the sprite from the bear to the shredded clothes, but the timer of the potion was still running and the stats were still adjusted to the wild potion. Then, as the potion ran out, the stats did not return to normal. I can only assume that this is not how it's supposed to work?
