Eating/hunger magic

[Ripheus23]

There's more to it, but one setting I outlined recently involved food-based magic. The initial image was wizards with belts holding cans of soup or sandwiches instead of wands or what. Then the idea escalated quickly and I made up demons called "hunger elementals" which are only tangible/perceptible as complicated 3-dimensional sensations of hunger pangs, and these demons were emulating a demon-god who was a demon-god because it was emulating the real God (in the wrong way). And the demon-god had infused its power into an ore (called "the Ore") that was a common ingredient (seasoning) in food, because for some reason it caused magical bioluminescence or something (and the world was an Underdark-like landscape, with cosmic twists involving black hole galaxies).

So, over time, as people ingested more and more of the Ore, the evil god was becoming more and more physically manifest. This was to reverse an event called "the Immutation of the Form of God," in which the evil god was made immutable, hence unchanging and inactive: a sort of super-can to seal an evil in. But if come unto physicality again, the Form-demon would no longer be immutable in general but could change (and would be defeated by a being known as the Saoshyant [hats-off to the Z-man!] when the Saoshyant's free will was absorbed into the demon-Form's and used to choose God's goodness as the divine attribute to be emulated...).
