Magic
When EATing food imbedded with spells, the messaging remains the same as when consuming regular food with the addition of spell effects. Because Magic Item Use (MIU) is not required to cast the spell in this way, variable duration spells will be limited to ten minutes per bite, while set duration spells will retain its duration.
