Culimancy

As it turns out, food makes for fantastic catalysts! Culimancy is the practice of using salteration to alter any kind of edible material, whether it be to buff, debuff, poison, heal or just to make that steak extra magi-tasty. Chefs throughout the world use salt (both kinds, in this case) in their cooking because of its benefits and the fact that salt naturally rejuvenates.

A proper chef can prepare a meal that strengthens its consumer, as well as being able to infuse food with the power to heal greatly over a period of time. Because settlements are few and far between, the world being full of nasty dangers (many of which still enveloped in a fog of horrendous mystery) and the very real risk of finding yourself in the wilderness in need of medical aid, parties of adventurers will have one culimancer that they can take on the road with them.
