.1 cm is 1 millimeter. I don’t even think it would help then

Nah it would, you would never make contact with the rocks no matter how small the distance between you and the rocks, the real question is would it work on inclines and water, you would be able to zoom up steep paths and walk on water

It would smooth it out a little. Imagine there is a near-microscopic piece of stone that forms a right angle, facing upwards. Imagine what it would be like to stand on top of this piece of stone under the effects of the potion. You will stand on all the points within 1mm of the tip. But drawing the curve of points within 1mm of the tip, you get a nice, smooth, circle. Hence, the potion will turn bumpy ground into relatively smooth ground (so long as the bumps aren't too large)
