[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7467828, member: 6919838"] Also, a specific thing about CF vs other effects is that Cf is one of the few long lasting low level one shot and forever spells. When you look at things like making food and that kind of stuff or other such effects you rapidly get into a populations vs spellcasters ratio thing which makes it likely some local village can benefit from having a pet spellcaster but not likely you get bigger than than or routine just due to the need for recasting spells over and over. Sure a moderate level druid might in the middle of f blight or bad winter set himself to devoting many spell slots to goodberry a village but that wont be sustainable over long time and larger areas. but with Cf its one of the few extremely long lasting effects that also comes at low levels and so the gradual expansion is huge. i mean imagine if every month on their biggest holy day the local priest of light gifted one CF item to the village. Now imagine that has been going on for 100 years at every shrine, temple of cloister. if they made a point of gifting these to the less fortunate who could not afford but charge... accepted donations from more wealthy patrons for others... thats a growing crapload of these items into play. Course, disciples of darkness might well be moving around dispelling them or maybe making a point on their high holy day of punishing someone for using them. Fact is that might be one of the better "within the world" reasons for these to be limited to major cities or other well defended places - cults, creatures and other threats which are drawn to them with ill intent. farmer john's log cabin being lit up by a Cf he won in a raffle is fine, until certain shadowy figures show up at night to express their displeasure.
