Create Food

With the spell Create Food, magic energy can be turned into edible matter.

Spell Description
A number of mages are so deep in their studies of magic, that they feel they shouldn't be bothered with mundane things like domestic issues. Food shopping is out of the question for them, they instead use the Create Food spell to create their food from magic energy. The spell was first created by Lord Stuart the Hungry in Ultima V and it quickly became a standard tool in the magical world. However, this spell is not efficient, since buying food is by far cheaper than the cost of this spell's reagents, especially due to the expensive Mandrake Root.

Trivia

 * Create Food is one of the few spells not listed in the official Ultima V game documentation, as Lord Stuart the Hungry provides the details ingame.
 * In Ultima VII Part Two, once one has the Ring of Reagents to negate the reagent cost, this spell is actually the best way to keep the party fed, as food has no longer to be carried around.
 * Though not an actual spell in Ultima IX, the candelabra in Lord's British's dining hall is enchanted with some version of this spell. When lit, the table is covered with a feast. Note: this only works once.
 * Lord British in Ultima VII says this is one of the few spells he can still do reliably.
