Cost of living and Create Food

• You have to create air to stay there for long term;
• This pocket dimension is a low-mana zone, so all spells are cast with a -5 penalty;
• Recover Energy spell doesn't work there.

So if your goal is to take a safe place to sleep (like if it was a sanctuary), this spell is not very good for that purpose.

Indeed, it's a nice spell for a utility Wizard to use in stormy or freezing environments. The requirement for 2 spells of each element is not that big.

You mean: Let the Scout and Barbarian "live off the land", finding safe food and water and washing when necessary in a nearby river or in rainwater.

The Wizard can also create food and water out of thin air. And with the right spells (like Shape Earth, Create Fire for a campfire or even full weather protection from Weather Dome), he can create a reasonably comfortable place to sleep, specially with a Blanket or Sleeping Fur.
