2. The spell spoils all the grain in the village's storage.
3. A giant made of marshmallows is summoned in the town square.
4. The local noble's 15-course banquet has every course replaced by Created Food.
5. You immediately lose 2d FP to hunger. These FP recover at the rate of 3/day so long as you get three meals.
6. You take 1d HP of injury as the meal creates itself from your own flesh.

Sorry but that table is very "swingy" and the results seem very OUT OF LINE for what the spell costs and does.

I'd think it would be far more reasonable to use a 3d6 table and most of the middle of the chart (where the rolls should mostly land) will be more minor.

3d6:

3. Horrible smell produced which lasts 1d hours, food is inedible
4. Raw material turns to mush and is unusable
5. Food is hard as a rock and inedible
6. Food created is spoiled and smells bad
7. Food created is spoiled and smells bad
8. Food created smells fine but causes illness in anyone failing HT roll
9. You lose the ability to cast Create Food for 1d days
10. No food is created and you lose sense of taste and smell for 1d days
11. Food created looks/smells fine but causes illness in anyone failing HT roll
12. Food created looks/smells fine but causes illness in anyone failing HT roll
13. You lose the ability to cast Create Food for 1d days
14. No food is created and you lose sense of taste and smell for 1d days
15. You lose the ability to cast Create Food for 1d days
16. Lose 1d extra fatigue and lose ability to cast Create Food for 1d+2 days
17. A noxious fire breaks out emitting smoke, inhaling it causes 1d6 dmg
18. A monster related to food you are creating is appears, e.g. demon

NOTE: In order for some of these to work you need to make Create Food roll for the player in secret. Maybe only do so if they are using Create Food in Town.
