Agreed, it can be tremendously confusing. In Prime's case I can see the spell exercising its domain of truth. But for the Death shadow spells I never figured out a better answer than "this was fun to do with the Lasombra, so mages will probably want to do it too".
Prepare Rations (Life ••, Matter ••)
Practice: Ruling
Primary Factor: Potency
Withstand: N/A
Suggested Rote Skills: Academics, Craft, Survival
The modern age has seen mages more commonly live in cities, where foraging skills are rarely necessary. But the supernatural can be treacherous and a mage can find themselves stranded without supplies. For an adept of Life this is a trivial matter to solve, for everyone else the Arrow recommends this spell.
This allows a mage to transform any supply of meat or fish into pemmican, a simple mix of dried meat and fat. Pemmican is filling, easy to carry and can last for years (or even a decade with proper storage). If any berries or spices are in hand, they can be added into the spell to make the end product more palatable. The water extracted by drying the meat can be stored away in a canteen or similar container nearby.
Observation: For comparison's sake, a rabbit can produce enough to feed a person for 3 days of intense exercise, an elk can feed a party of 6 for a week.
