Quimby's Enchanting Gourmet

This specialized version of the unseen servant was developed with one particular task in mind—cooking and cleaning in the kitchen while its creator is otherwise occupied.

The enchanting gourmet is a magical force under the control of the mage. It can perform simple kitchen actions like stirring, carrying, measuring, cutting, and minding the fire. It is no stronger than an unseen servant and no more dexterous than its creator. The enchanting gourmet can be left to cook on its own, provided that it is cooking a meal that the mage himself has prepared at some point in his life. If something disrupts the smooth flow of the meal (such as the arrival of a dragon or an explosion in the kitchen), the enchanting gourmet will seek the advice of its creator.

The enchanting gourmet can be dispelled by the caster at will, by a dispel magic spell, or by taking 6 points of damage from area effect attacks such as breath weapons, explosions, and the like.

The enchanting gourmet cannot be used to brew potions and other magical drinks, but has been used to generate simple poisons and in one case to serve as a bartender. The creator of this spell, Quimby of Procampur, was an impatient cook but a lover of fine food in quantity. The spell is not one normally studied by adventuring mages but is often used by retired sages and other sedentary types.

The material components of this spell are a block of wood and some string.
