When cast upon a handful of freshly picked berries, this spell makes 2d4 of them magical. The caster (as well as any other caster of the same faith and 9th or higher level) can immediately discern which berries are affected. A detect magic discovers this also.
Royalberries (the enspelled berries) enable a hungry creature of approximately man-size to eat one and be as well-nourished as if a full normal meal were eaten. They also cure 2 points of physical damage from wounds or other similar causes, subject to a maximum of 16 points of such curing in any 24-hour period. Finally, any poison that exists in the consumer when a royalberry is consumed is slowed (as the 2nd level priest spell slow poison). Eating three or more royalberries at a time will neutralize a poison (as the 4th level priest spell neutralize poison). Consuming six royalberries (total) at a time additionally acts as a cure disease spell.
Unlike the more commonly known goodberry spell, there is no reverse of this spell.
The material component is the caster's holy symbol, passed over the freshly picked, edible berries to be enspelled.
Notes: Granted by the elven goddess Sheela Peryroyl.
