Yush, she's my water genasi warlock that's obsessed with fire
Love it, awesome concept
"When I was young I had a group of friends. During a sleepover I messed around with an oil lamp and accidentally set fire to the house. Most of us made it out, but I lost two of my friends. I was labeled an arsonist and problem child. From that moment on I became obsessed with the control of fire. I tried studying fire magic at a wizarding school, but did not have the intelligence required. In desperation I called out to the fire elemental king itself and one of the genies of the Efreeti answered. I forged a pact with this genie who bestowed on me an oil flask that gave me the power to wield fire. In return I just had to do one thing..." - Scald Khavari

I just had an idea for a magic system: Gastromancy!
It would be something between alchemy and necromancy, changing the environment or even the caster themselves based on the dish prepared and its ingredients. Basic ingredients would have simple effects, but rarer, gourmet ingredients would behave differently. Basically, the whole JRPG food item buff mechanic, but as a magic system. It would be in FATE, so I could have the freedom to make my own magic system while still having the groundwork already laid out. I already have the basics planned out, but I'd like to hear you guys' thoughts before I start going crazy with it.

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
May each word that I speak be backed by each of my teeth.
Since you guys seem to like it, I'll go into a bit more detail:
So, FATE runs on things called Aspects, statements that are true and describe part of a character, a situation, a game world, etc. Regardless of how rules-light the system is, I'm not gonna explain it all here, but just know that players can expend a resource (Fate Points) to utilize (Invoke) an Aspect, or they can spend their turn to attempt to create a new one with free uses (Invokes). Going any deeper than that would require me to explain the entire game, so I'm gonna leave it like this.
The Big Idea: You have six skills for magic, based on different flavors. You choose how good you are at each one. One is good, two are fair, two are average, and one is mediocre (actual terms in the game, but once again, not getting into that and they're vaguely intuitive anyway). You use these skills to create Aspects based on the dish you're trying to make and the method you use to make it. For example, you could use the Spicy skill to make "Spicy Sauteed Red Dragon Tail." You can have up to 6 aspects on a dish, but they all have to be different flavors.
Now the fun part: actually using the spells you cooked. You can either Consume your dish, gaining buffs based on the food you prepared (for example, Draconic Fire Breath for the red dragon tail), or you can Serve your dish, altering the environment based on your preparation style (Building on Fire in the case of the Sauteed Red Dragon Tail). The amount of Free Invokes you have on the dish determines the Free Invokes you have on the Aspect created by a spell. Buffs are temporary, but environmental alterations don't have to be.
Both the buffs and environment alterations will be accomplished with more Aspects.
