Speaking of Rice, MA summons her first storyline-wise… as an empty shell. Is this all canon stuff? 8O I knew about Rice but not about much else– if these things exist then you’d think the priority would be making these accessible for everyone to use, and thus make all of Tierra better equipped for resisting Fallen Angels, right? the way to obtain these in-game is through a skill tree-esque system 2. That makes majority of the cooking talents not make any sense, especially the healing ones, since 1. If they can make humanoid, self-cognizant weapons out of food, then I would hope that they can make weapons which conduct spirit energy, right? Dark Cuisine could be stuff the Academy makes, or you know, the MA could just… do some poison mixing… lmfao… The thing is, though, none of these are “skills” or “talents”!! It has already been established that humans cannot convert spirit energy to magic naturally! So unless MAs are exceptions to this rule (which doesn’t make sense) all of these “skills” need a rational explanation attached, such as buying inventions from the Academy or using other kinds of magic tools. Personally I like to imagine cooking talents as just a game design thing, but if they were actually part of the universe… Well, the blades can be explained as being magic tools themselves. You know, you’d think if humans were able to make amazing magic tools and have magic which is able to fight against Fallen Angels, they’d research how to do that instead of making food-based super soldiers right? C’mon Nevras Academy!! Please be more useful against the war threatening all of Tierra!! LMAO… But who knows? It’s not like they were specific about it. His MA was “on the front lines” but that doesn’t mean she was fighting directly I imagine she was simply accompanying her Food Souls and was staying on the front lines with them (maybe as a strategist/directing the combat?). The main issue in his backstory that the child was facing was her inability to summon a Food Soul of her own despite possessing a large amount of “magic” it doesn’t really mention any other kind of magic which a human can wield. Also, Torto mentioned about the child he was looking after having “an abundance of magic within her body” so I assume Food Souls are able to sense “magic”/spirit energy levels within individuals (Yuxiang was able to tell Peking Duck had an immense amount of spirit energy I believe). Is it like Food Souls, where spirit energy = life force? Raindrop Cake ended up killing his MA by using his MA’s “life force” to power his attacks, so either spirit energy is not the same as life force and Food Souls are able to access both through the contract link, or they are the same thing and they just aren’t able to use magic, aka convert that internal spirit energy/life force into magic… ? …Well, anyway…įrom what I got out of Tortoise Jelly’s backstory, I think the “magic” referred in there was talking about the ability to summon Food Souls? Humans of course have varying levels of inherent magic within them, since some are able to summon and some are not. You could perhaps consider spirit energy as equivalent to mana in other media… tl dr: spirit energy is the raw material and magic is the result after some sort of conversion, via magic tool, spell, Food Soul ability, or what have you. It would fit into the common “elves are in tune with nature and are better at magic than humans” trope and of course spirits would be able to use spiritual energy better than humans as well. Naturally, whenever Food Souls use their powers and attack, they consume spirit energy, and I assume you could call their powers “magic” as well. (Lotsa FF spoilers) I believe magic is (perhaps obviously) the active/in-use form of spirit energy.
