### Definition and Skills

Cooking may be considered a common skill, but Gourmets refine their knowledge of foodstuffs to a level that is nothing short of supernatural: they refine the art of extracting spiritual energies from every ingredient, infusing meals with powerful magical effects!

### Way of Life

While most Gourmets are content with simply settling down in a town or village and making a living off their skills, some wander the world in a lifelong search for new ingredients.
