Title: Growth potion and shrink potion do not cancel the previous opposite growth or Shrink potion effect.

Reproduction Rate:100%

Blocker? not a game ender but it does block the potion's correct effect.

Details: Growth potion and shrink potion do not cancel the previous opposite growth or Shrink potion effect.
If you drink a growth potion and get big and then a drink a potion to shrink while the growth effect
timer is counting down then you only shrink to normal size and not to the tiny size character. You can't dismiss the effect. You end up wasting the potion which may have a freak out effect on players follows by forum flames.

To clarify, both effects run at the same time and when the first effect is a Growth Potion and you drink a Shrink Potion 5 minutes later, you only shrink to normal size but when the growth effect timer wears off you shrink from normal to tiny for the remaining time on the shrink potion timer. The potions last 15 minutes so people are going to be wasting most of the potions timer without the desired effect. Drinking the opposite potion should cancel/dismis the opposite effect if the character is already under a size altering potion effect.

As a side note: The animation when drinking these potions is a punching animation and NOT a "drink potion animation."

Steps to Reproduce: Drink a Growth potion, wait a few minutes, then drink a shrink potion. You will not get tiny until the Growth potion timer wears out and you can't dismis the Growth potion effect so you shrink to normal size while the first effect is counting down on it's timer.

Next patch, you will be able to right click and dismiss these potion's effects, which should solve this issue and let players do what they like.
