Issue Details: Used the item Stuffed Pitaru to increase my Non-Offensive Magic skill gain and began to cast Pollen on myself frequently to increase Blue Magic Skill but found my skill gain rate to drop rather than increase, skill gain became lower and less frequent with the food than it had already been before using the item.

May have been due to your skill range....Stuffed is generally the "entry level" food, with the least impact to skillup rate and thus showing a marked slope off once you hit ~200 skill:

Is this tacit acknowledgement that the different skillup foods work at differing level ranges? Because as far as I can tell those skill ranges are made up based on eyeballed anecdotal evidence, that no one has ever tested, and doesnt mesh with the info posted on a JP wiki.

No my skill level at the time of using this food item was still below 150and was used in attempt to get it up nearer to around 180+ before heading to skill up areas as i done research on the skill gain food for magic once i reached 200 and started in the Boyahda Tree fighting monsters with a friend I began using Poultry Pitaru and skill gain became faster and more frequent so it does seem to just be stuffed pitaru that dropped the frequency but perhaps it was just my bad luck.

Who knows maybe I got a batch that was out of date :P
