I stand corrected! But the A5E.tools version needs to be updated in this case...Check the book

I agree, the name doesn't really fit the mechanics. I've had players give me the eyebrow when I try to explain that purify water doesn't really you know..."purify" the waterBasically, then, purify food and water is somewhat misnamed -- it should be called something like neutralize poison.

Well, that sucks. And is ignorable.The book is outdated, not the tools. It was changed in the errata, as shown here: Errata — Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition (A5E). Which suggests that they rather intentionally did not want the spell to create supply.
I figure having to spend a spell slot to get 1 Supply is a decent enough trade-off.I think I remember reading that it was a design decision to try and limit magic replenishment of supply in order to keep exploration difficult.
It is when your group is operating under a "dungeon crawl" mindset, where you have 4-6 encounters a day and every spell is important.I figure having to spend a spell slot to get 1 Supply is a decent enough trade-off.
I don't disagreeI figure having to spend a spell slot to get 1 Supply is a decent enough trade-off.
While I don't entirely disagree, I also find that nerfing many spells so that supply is a thing to be a bit too gamist IMO: RAW It's easier to resurrect people than to feed them, which doesn't make much sense...What LU did with supplies is a really good change, and preventing spells from just creating them is very important. It does create some weird flavor areas, but I think it is worth it.
On a month-long journey scale, unless you're running multiple monster encounters every day of the journey in order to exhaust the party's daily resources (which would make for a very tedious game) spell slots are not a cost. Allowing them to replenish Supply removes Supply from the game completely. Spell slots and Supply operate at different scales; they cannot be mathematically equivalent.I don't disagree
