This spell allows the shukenja or any creature it is cast upon to do without food or water for the duration of the spell. The creature does not suffer the effects of starvation or thirst, although it can eat and drink normally. When the spell ends, the creature must resume normal eating and drinking habits, but does not feel any adverse effects from the time spent without food. Likewise, if the spell is cast upon a creature suffering from starvation and thirst, it counters the effects as if the creature had eaten one filling meal for every six hours of the spell's duration.

The material components are a flask of warm sake and a rice cake.

Notes: Common for oriental priests; otherwise, very rare.
