numerous examples in the game detail why I don't need to elaborate on this. Read the rules AbRay. Why your idea doesn't work is in the book.

Surely all he needs to do is change the target of the spell from SELF. But it does epitomize the ultimate SELF-SERVING Hermetic Magus.

Perhaps the fact that the spell would "turn the Magus into the food" kinda negates the need to worry about Sustenance. Good point though , as this would be a great Death Spell as given , although dying of starvation , while feeling no hunger pangs isnt quick.
