You may have already covered this so I'm sorry if so, but I'm curious about how alcohol affects di mages
I know Elliot drinks (a lot—I wanna hug this poor boy so bad) outside of school, but are there spells where alcohol is a necessary food component? And what would happen if a di mage had a few drinks and then tried to eat and cast. Would it change anything? Or would it just reduce their stomach capacity and make it more difficult to cast?
I don't think I've covered these questions before! C:
No, alcohol is never a necessary food component.
Drinking alcohol before casting wouldn't affect the spell at all from a technical standpoint. But you're right that it would take up precious stomach space and possibly dull the mage's mental focus, making it harder to cast.
