Actually I think they were much more powerful before, at least in the hands of non-fighters. A full hp/me restore script once every 250 hrs is not as good as constant MI+RE for a priest or warlock, anyway.
True, but before they at least granted buffs that were obtainable through other means, and had an obvious "drawback" of costing mana. Now, there's no drawback other than that you have to wait less than half an hour to have a full restore usable again (And you cannot obtain a full restore through any other game mechanism). I forget which Immortal it was that said there aren't supposed to be any items in the game that give benefits without any drawbacks.
It is not less than half an hour. Your information is wrong. It is less than half an hour to create food and water. The restore has a significant time delay attached to it.
