Can't be done. You can't create matter out of nothing. That violates the law of conservation of mass-energy. Or I should say, you can transform energy into matter, but not very much matter. Even a half-pound arrow is equivalent to the amount of energy unleashed by a small atom bomb. The rulebook strictly prohibits violating the laws of physics. One of the less than stellar things about shadowrun.

So what does the spell "create food" do?

[edit]That was a response to Panzergeist rather than Herald's post. IE: 'Nuff said.[/edit] |

Panzergeist: if magic, energy, and matter are interchangeable, then you can create whatever you want and it'll just cause a massive mana warp if it's too large. See the Magic: what can and can't it do for a more thorough discussion on the relation between magic and physics.
And IMO making physics apply to magic is one of the very good things about Shadowrun. Some of us are sick of the "um... because it's magic!" explaination. ~J |

Create food? I've never heard of that spell. What book is it in?

Magic in the Shadows, page 147.
I don't like it, and so I got rid of it. Except in very special circumstances (elements, maybe some other misc stuff), I don't believe magic should be allowed to create matter. At least not complex organic stuff like Create Food is supposed to do. [Edit]Damn I'm slow.[/Edit] |

Only because you took the time to whine about the rules. |
