The only (mild) drawbacks are that bloom doesn't produce any drink, it presumably takes some time to harvest the food as well, and if you want to keep it around you need to bring it with you (and fresh fruit presumably weighs more than trail rations). You could also make the ruling that bloom is, or ought to be, season-dependent – if you cast it in a frozen wasteland there are no fruit-bearing plants around to produce any food.That said... a common meal at an inn costs 2 sp. Assuming three meals per day, that's 6 sp per day – and that includes food preparation. 6 sp per day x 7 days x 5 people = 210 sp, or just above the cost of casting the ritual. I don't think anyone is going to get rich off that. It is, however, useful for feeding a large number of people from a limited area, such as when besieged.</blockquote>
