Waffles

Waffles are a very peculiar type of food. They are perfectly efficient, meaning consuming them gives the user exactly the same amount of magical energy as was used to make them. Due to this and other odd properties, waffles are celebrated with their own holiday in various worlds. The only other known substance to be perfectly efficient is lemonade, causing the drink to often be described as "liquid waffles".

Waffle Construction
Waffles were a common food at Cadence Academy, enjoyed, but often overlooked. However, due to their presence during the creation of Vale, waffles became part of the fabric of Vale, and thus, the will of its people.

In Vale, as waffles are representative of the fabric of Vale, which is equivalent to the will of Vale's citizens, waffles are perfectly efficient to create. Consuming a waffle allows one to regain the exact amount of energy required to create a waffle by one's will. For the weaker-willed, this can be an extreme amount of energy. For the strong-willed, such as most Natives of Vale, this is a negligible amount, and many waffles must be consumed to gain any significant energy.

Waffle Day
In Vale, as waffles are in its very fabric, they became important cultural symbols. As such, there is a holiday celebrating them. Different lines developed differing traditions, with the Essentiae line notably giving each other commemorative cards.

Lemonade
Lemondade, due to the circumstances of its similar involvement in Vale's conception, shares most of the properties of waffles.

Notably, Vale has no concept of lemons, and thus "lemonade" exists on its own through being passed down through the minds of the families who utilised its properties.
