The mana trick is obviously more of an issue at low levels.
Simple fix is to adjust the "food" consumption based on level
(or simply max HP). At low level it doesn't interfere at all;
at high levels you presumably have pow==30.

My main reason for liking this method is avoiding the 
99Kg of food I have to carry into battle as a fb w/ 
str == 2. I end up dying of slowness or starvation way
too often. If there were a way to remove the need to 
carry huge amounts of food it would more than offset 
some change in mana regen -- especially at higher levels
where the mana regen is rather quick anyway.
