I just found out about the ranger spell Allfood from the APG, and it seems kind of complicated.
My first question is, can you use Mending to repair your Allfood after you've eaten part of it?
There are a few sub-questions I am considering for this. Is the Allfood item still considered an object (is there even a formal definition of what counts as an object in pathfinder)?
The last line of Mending says, "This spell has no effect on objects that have been warped or otherwise transmuted, but it can still repair damage done to such items." How does this apply?
The two halves of this sentence seem to contradict each other. All I want mending to do is repair the damage to the transmuted item, but I would see that as having an effect. Is it just repairing the broken condition that doesn't work when the object has been transmuted?
I guess that question is more about Mending than Allfood really.
What properties does an Allfood item have? The spell description says that it retains the hardness, sunder/break resistance, and energy producing capabilities of the original object. This leads me to believe that until you try to eat it, an Allfood object might be just like a normal object of it's type. Does it's appearance change? Can you still fight and do damage with a weapon that has been turned to Allfood? If so, what about bite attacks against Allfood weapons? Are they sufficiently enough like eating the object to reduce it's hardness to zero? After an object is Allfood, do you need to use Purify Food and Drink to keep it fresh, or does it retain it's previous object properties for things like spoiling? Assuming you can do damage with it, do you need any additional proficiency to wield an Allfood weapon?
Does Allfood armor still protect you the same as ever? If so, would formerly metal Allfood armor still be susceptible to a rust monster (even if not, trading one creature not being able to eat it for a multitude who now can still might not be a good trade)? Could a druid wear formerly metal Allfood armor without penalty?
In general, it's just not very clear how the Allfood spell works unless you are just going to cast the spell and then immediately eat the object. I want to know how to deal with the situations where the character is just trying to keep using the object as what it was before, and maybe see it there's any way to take advantage of it's new new half-food state.
I'm really looking for RAW answers, since I play PFS a lot, but for many of these question that's probably impossible. If you think it's just up to the GM to decide, then I guess you can tell me how you would rule it.
