Getting Effects from Potions

How do I pull the information from the DB as to the effect that a potion gives? ("Connery's Elixir of Audacity" gives "Cock of the Walk"), the true goal is to know that "Connery's Elixir of Audacity" gives +200% moxie, but I can get that from the effect modifier.

Or if you just want the effect for a specific item...

THanks Hee^3. I was trying to figure out what effect_modifier() (and string modifiers in general) did exactly. I missed the "Effect" modifier.

Oh nice. A couple months ago I was pretty happy that I had figured out how to regex the sources out of $effect[name].all but using modifiers is way easier.

Code: 
ash numeric_modifier(string_modifier($item[Connery], "effect"), "moxie percent")

Thanks!, I was fumbling around with the modifiers, but couldn't figure out how to parse it properly, that is exactly what I needed!

It appears that the list of items that I am able to get includes only potions (which is what I wanted) but my question is 'why?' Shouldn't other consumables show up in the same list? (Like queen cookies)

Check modifiers.txt and you'll see that the Queen Cookie isn't actually included as providing any modifiers...

Edit: As slyz noted above. But if it's been added to the notes, you can see it that way... though parsing it might be fun.
