Aimi spends a long time standing there, in the rain and the gloom, staring out at the forest. She looks at Shika Zang. She looks back at the forest.
"I have a better idea," she says, sitting down and drawing a small flask of sake from inside her flowing sleeves. She pulls the cork out with her teeth, takes a brief sip to confirm that the drink within is of proper quality, hums in satisfaction and then pours a generous measure out onto the forest floor.
The ground ripples for a moment, like the surface of a lake... and then sprouts a generous if eclectic mixture of herbs, fungi, fruits and rice that Aimi collects with a murmured prayer of thanks. A moment later and the ground is barren again, the stalks and branches receding back beneath the earth.
"Shika-sama, I wish to submit this as the product of my gathering expedition," Aimi says with a serious face, depositing the food before the Deer sensei before nodding to herself in satisfaction. Was it cheating? Probably, but if the choice was between cheating and going hungry, well, she'd make that bargain before.

So the invocation produces, with that one opportunity, enough food to feed four people for a day. I have no idea how that would be scored, but it means Aimi isn't tramping about in the woods and getting soaked, so I'll call it a win.
