As our conjured foods have become less and less relevant through the expansions, especially to other players, it struck me that they could have made our food better by use of a reagent that would add a buff to the food, either a simple reagent like common enchanting dust (many mages spec into enchanting, so there is synergy there) that provides a random buff, or you could use the vendor mats they use now for cooking, like if you conjure with choral honey, as an example, you get a buff to crit strike, and so on.
Of course this would make cooking less relevant, but not as irrelevant as our conjured food has become, in my opinion. Thoughts?
