Extract Essence

1st-level transmutation (ritual only)

Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a wooden bowl)
Duration: Permanent

You extract the goodness from food, pulling all the nutritional value out of three days’ worth of meals and concentrating it into a tablespoon of bland, flourlike powder. The flour can be mixed with liquid and drunk or baked into bread. When consumed, it still imparts all the nutritional value of the original food.

The original food appears unchanged, and though it’s still filling, it has no nutritional value.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, an additional three meals’ worth of food can be extracted for each slot level above 1st.

Ritual Focus. If you expend your ritual focus, you can choose to have each day’s worth of meals take the form of a single slice of bread.
