At the end of the preparation time, the Chef will have served up sufficient portions of the food to give the spell benefits to a number of people equal to his Thunder Trigram squared. Alternatively, for mundane cooking, this technique can be used to increase number of portions served up in a given time by the same proportion.

For example~~, ~~you could turn lead to gold~~, or ~~silver into iron~~.		'''Effect:''' This cookery spell takes one hour to prepare and a few minutes to eat. The eater will find that the developing flavours open his mind to the essence of the Wind Trigram, and the secrets of inner change. The eater can lose any amount of Physical, Mental or Social resilience, and gain an equal amount of Physical, Social or Mental resilience.

	Note that if a player character wants to use this secret to become ridiculously wealthy, then he can do so! To gain any advantage from being so wealthy, however, would require him to purchase an appropriate Major Edge with XP.
