Players have been inquiring about the Ritual of Refreshment in Blizzard's World of Warcraft. This mage ability to be introduced in patch 2.3 creates both food and water for the caster and its party.

Blizzard Community Manager Drysc outlined the details on this ability over at the official WoW Forums. Apparently, it acts much like the Lightwell skill of Priests since the spell creates Mana Biscuits which restore 7500 health and 7200 mana over a span of 30 seconds.

Drysc also responded to those who are worried about the addition of the skill, "It's just about making life a bit easier for the mage, now everyone can grab what they want. We're not attempting to or currently buffing the water/food you would normally conjure".

When this spell goes live, raiding parties can expect little to no downtime when playing the game as long as the Mage has some mana. At the very least, players won't have to by food from vendors saving them a few copper and silver pieces.
