Food by magic and Dog Boys

Unread post by darthauthor »

So would a Dog Boys senses know if food was created by magic?
Note they spell was cast out of their senses range.

Examples include:

Necromancer's Chicken soup.

Nature Magic's eggs and Bread.

Palladium Fantasy, Bread and milk

Eating or smelling it would they know it was created by magic?

no, only the containers that disappear after the contents are gone would possibly read as magical.

Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

if the food is either permanently charmed (such as the nature magic eggs), or was a temporary conjuration (such as bread and milk) then sure, its an ongoing spell effect and it detects as such.
if it is a one and done spell with no long term effects then probably not... but the example spells create a magical item that has a duration... so as long as the magical effect is available (the boosts, buffs or existence as appropriate) the food is magical in the same way that a person with a spell cast on them detects as magical while the spell is in effect.
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.
