Fireblood, Page 146
Clarification: Fireblood costs a Recovery test, but is not a Recovery test. It does not benefit from any effects that improve Recovery tests (e.g. booster potions or the Heat Food spell) and Discipline abilities that allow Karma to be spent on a Recovery test.
Elemental Spear, Page 281
Clarification: Water spear costs a Recovery test and is a Recovery test. However, it does not benefit from any effects that improve Recovery tests (e.g. booster potions or the Heat Food spell), but Discipline abilities that allow Karma to be spent on a Recovery test can be used.
From how its written in the errata, it gives the impression that heat food lasts until next recovery test and not just within the spells duration of keeping the food hot. ( we play 24 hours just as its sensible )Grove Renewal, Page 282
Clarification: Grove Renewal costs a Recovery test, but is not a Recovery test. It does not benefit from any effects that improve Recovery tests (e.g. booster potions or the Heat Food spell) and Discipline abilities that allow Karma to be spent on a Recovery test.
