The art of magic known as Gastromancy derives from it's consumable fundamentals. The basis of Gastromancy is the empowerment of individuals through the consumption of ritually prepared meals. These meals are based upon one of three core ingredients: Amrita, Manna and Ambrosia.

These three ingredients are made from recipes known only to an enlightened few - the mastery of the creation of but one the these ingredients is the final hurdle in becoming an Adept of Gastromancy, and the first step on the path to becoming a true Guru. As such the true nature of these ingredients is remarkably hard to derive - especially since the finished product often does not resemble it's base components.

Is is known, that Amrita is a translucent liquid with a golden hue. In it's purest form, the liquid holds no particulate nor leaves no residue.

Manna it is believed to be a white gum like substance that is pliable and elastic whilst hot but brittle and plastic when cold.

What is known of Ambrosia is that in it's purest form a fine powder of extraordinary colour, it is thought by many to be derived from the flesh of a fungus.

From these ingredients, Gastromancers, be they Adepts, or Gurus, create food and beverage of celestial quality. From the divinity captured in these works, the one who consumes the meal is imbued with specific and temporary powers.
