Doungim Lore
School Fit
Transmutation is the school of change. Its spells turn one thing into another, alter the rules of an object, or rewrite the parameters of a body. Purify Food and Drink sits in Transmutation because the spell rewrites a property of a body, an object, or terrain. At level 1, Purify Food and Drink is affordable in any caster's daily plan.
Class Fit
- Cleric: At tier 1 a Cleric has maybe four prep slots; Purify Food and Drink is competing with healing options for that limited count. The 10-foot range on Purify Food and Drink leaves room for the caster to stay in the back line.
- Druid: Circle of the Moon Druids spend most of their turns in Wild Shape — Purify Food and Drink earns its slot only if the build expects to cast in humanoid form. Purify Food and Drink reaches 10 feet, which lets the caster stay clear of the front line.
- Paladin: Oath bonus spells fill some of the prep automatically — Vengeance gets Bane and Hunter's Mark, Devotion gets Protection from Evil — check before adding Purify Food and Drink manually. 10 feet is enough range that Purify Food and Drink doesn't pull the caster forward.
