<section begin=custommanna />'''Custom Manna''' is a type of [[advanced spell customization]] that changes the appearance and flavor messaging for manna food created via the [[Manna (203)]] spell. Pre-written custom manna is available at various [[festival]]s, [[pay event]]s, and at [[Bayview Villa]] on [[Mist Harbor]]. Fully custom manna is a [[delayed service]] when the player is writing their own. Custom manna is part of the [[Player Customization System]] and are managed via the {{boldmono|[[Verb:CUSTOM|CUSTOM]]}} verb.
Through rare [[merchant]]s, [[raffle]]s, and special events, the [[Manna (203)]] spell can now be customized. Clerics and Empaths must first prepare the spell and then use{{boldmono| [[SUMMON]] CUSTOM }}to access their custom bread option. Open casting or {{boldmono| [[INCANT]]}} will still allow access to standard options.


[[Cleric]]s and [[Empath]]s must first {{boldmono|[[Verb:PREPARE|PREPARE]]}} the spell and then use {{boldmono|[[Verb:SUMMON|SUMMON CUSTOM]]}} to access their custom bread option. Open casting or {{boldmono|[[Verb:INCANT|INCANT]]}} will still allow access to standard options. Other professions may access custom manna via scrolls or items that impart [[spell knowledge]] of Manna it requires that the spell be {{boldmono|CAST}} in order for the custom version to be summoned.
There are several premade options available, and depending on the release method, the player may be allowed to submit their own customization. If the player does submit their own idea, it will be considered a [[delayed service]], as it will have to go through the QC process.


Custom manna does not have to be "bread" or even a type of baked good, however it must be some type of food. Custom manna always includes two flavor messages. As with all food/drink items, flavor messages are random and do not always show up on every attempt to {{boldmono|EAT}} or {{boldmono|LICK}} the manna.
As of 2018, Custom Manna does not have to be "bread." At [[Ebon Gate 2018]] a pre-made prize was a Custom Manna of a pickle.


Examples of custom manna includes the following from options available at [[Rumor Woods]]:
