It takes but a segment (6 seconds) to open and consume the typical potion.
Thereafter, however, a certain delay will occur while the contents are ingested and the magical properties of the potion take effect.
The delay will be from 2-5 segments as a rule. When a potion is imbibed, simply roll
d4, add + 1 to the result, and in that number of segments the effects of the
dose will take full effect. You may establish specific times for various potions
if you so desire, but this is a complication which is not generally
recommended.
