Spell — see Magic and Spellcasting for the rules and the Spell Index for the full list.

Divine 1 Type: esoteric

Range: 10’ Duration: instantaneous

The spell removes contaminants from spoiled, rotten, poisonous, or otherwise contaminated food and water, making it edible and drinkable. The spell will purify 120 gallons of water or 300 lbs of food – enough for one platoon of 15 cavalry and mounts or one company of 120 infantry to stay fed or hydrated for one day. The purified food and water is still subject to subsequent contamination or spoilage. Unholy water and similar food and drink of significance is spoiled by purify food and water, but the spell has no effect on creatures of any type, nor upon magic potions.

Reversed, this spell becomes putrefy food and water. It will spoil 120 gallons of water or 300 lbs of food. Anyone consuming putrefied food and water must make a Death saving throw or become vomiting for the next 2 hours (12 turns), unable to do anything save retch and heave.
