Re: The Alchemist's Lair
OOC: Essential Food turns regular food (say one ration) into "three meals" (if one person eats it, it lasts them all day, if three people share it, it feeds all three for one meal). The transformation only lasts 1 day (24 hours).*
Create Food turns organic material into food (the closer to actual food the tastier, so twigs, leaves, and bark are pretty terrible). The transformation lasts 1 day (24 hours).*
Just as a "heads up". If you're plan is to feed everyone today and tomorrow off of magic food, great, if the idea was to leave that food for McNealy... well...
* We're using DFRPG Spells and those two spells are among the ones changed. They are no longer "Indefinite" and "Permanent", they are "one day", and Essential Food is completely redone.
Technically they were nerfed to "lasts 1 day" in Pyramid 3-60, but Essential Food is almost worthless at that point (for 1 mana more it makes food that weighs less than food made with Create Food). DFRPG gave it a new purpose.
Change to Create Food: Duration: Instantaneous. Food lasts one day or until eaten, whichever comes first.
Change to Essential Food:
Essential Food (VH)
