did he really say somewhere he couldn't customize himself? didn't seem he asked for a customize objects spell but a general purpose customize in the goal of not being bored.
based on the principle i can't customize living subjects (which i doubt, but often when in the face of the vast amount spectrum of possibilies, humans tend to naturally restricts themselves without really knowing if the restrictions themselves are reals...enough gibberish let's get started with customisation already)
it's not what would you do, but what you'll do with customize, so i won't say i'll be a wish per cash mercenary (oops said it ) pobably expand mass, but not structure as to keep it stable or duplicate, already existing naturally valuable materials while being attentive about impact and repercussion (example his instant tower building could have a drastic economical effect on all the jobs associated to the construction of stone structure), example of this are
Talk about jesus ability, customize his bouyancy where he steps so he can walk on water- create many fish/bread from small portions, etc.
the bits about food and water, if you use it in case of drought or starvation nobody except the ones who prey on the weak and suffering to make a profit would mind, but you know what screw them ^^.
i'll do easy adjusts too, like diminish the salt amount when a meal is too salty......and live a cheap life ^^ i just need a teaspoon of salt to make a massive production of it ^^ i'll find/make a material which can support being without air, as meaning being empty ("sous vide" in french) shape hit like a sealable ball (with a screwing system to close it) diminish it's size put number on them and imbede them in an underjacket in each one i'll keep a usefull material i can expand in a small quantity and after putting it inside i'll customize the air level, pressure to suit the ingredients. when i need it i have it (but getting it out would take a bit of time. So i'll also keep basic stuff i can use for combat in a readily available front pocket, various stone types, wood essences and pieces of metal and type of strings i could use quickly, what i'll use in the fight depends mostly of the first thing i pick out of the pocket, can't have a big pouch as neatly organized ^^)
basic expansions, example piece of wood expand it short staff way for the fight have your customise ready and do it with your mind to modify the shapes rebuild it regularly, if against a bear shove it in the ground shape a spear like tip then expand when he's immobile for example...poof straigth in the beasty.....wait expansion and modification are instantaneous after you validate it, so the use cannot be like that. still not sure he cannot use it on living beings need to check it.. power is really powerful but require planning, nearly got killed last time.
