'''Purify [[Food|food]] & drink''' transforms spoiled or rotten edibles and libations into fresh, wholesome fare, even though it may have been previously spoiled, moldy, made dirty or even poisonous.  The nature of the food is not altered, but it will be restored to the best version of itself: meat will be full of colour, vegetables and fruits will be garden fresh, while grains will perfectly suited for the mill.  Wine will retain its age, but any bruising will be gone; ales and beer will obtain a lightness only to be found during the late fall.  All will be perfectly safe to eat and will have the standard of [[Nutrition & Preparation of Food#Guestkitchen|guestkitchen]] fare, with regards to the taste and after effects (provided it is [[Cooking (sage ability)|cooked]] properly).

== Putrefy ==
The reverse of the spell, '''putrefy''', will reduce food and beverages so that they will become wholly inedible.  Anything that is eaten or drunk will also become mildly [[Poison (substance)|poisonous]], sufficient to cause 2-4 [[Damage (hit points)|damage]], potentially killing common persons.

If this check fails, the victuals are consumed so that the victim will choke, gasp, suffer damage and spend at least two [[Combat Round|rounds]] spitting the food out.  When attempting to defend themselves during these two rounds, they will [[Attacking in Combat|attack]] at -2 [[Roll to Hit|to hit]] and suffer a -2 [[Armour Class|armour class]] as well.
