Placing a player double using a potion will cause all Image Overlays in the room that display for a set number of turns (via the DisplayTurns instruction) to display for an extra turn. This effect is cumulative - if you use three double potions, the overlay is extended by three turns. It's also pre-emptive - future overlays will be extended, even if they haven't started yet.

this is bad because it makes things ugly and if you were using that overlay to relay game information you're in trouble.
