Does the energy required to restore wounded flesh out weight the energy you could potentially consume from said flesh?
If it was even remotely efficient world wide hungry would be eliminated instantly. Slaughter houses would instead become mage foundries where they endlessly slice up living meat bearing animals and restore the taken flesh.

Fuck ethics, amirite?
How is killing an animal more ethical then harvesting it?

What an original and fascinating thought. Let us continue to explore this concept, which surely has heretofore never been conceived of in speculative fiction.
Because getting pieces sliced off fucking hurts. And doing it again and again hurts fucking more. Also, don't play with knives.
I mean, Create Food and Water is a basic spell
But knives are awesome. You sound like a bit of a bitch.
I've played around with the idea of having a system or setting where magic has an equivalency involved. If you wanna chuck a fireball, you drain the energy from everything around you, resulting in a field of intense cold. Regenerating or reshaping flesh means you have to spend calories to stimulate the body's mechanisms. Want a new arm? Better have twenty pounds of steak to chow down on.
Prolonged use of similar spells would cause a real mess.
It.
Is called.
Post-scarcity.
Shit like this drives me towards nonmagic settings.
but you can't survive solely on things made from that spell, can you?
