[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8800618, member: 2629"] I think there is a lot they can cover. Light spells can work like 'grow lights'. Shape Water can be used to freeze water so that it can be easily relocated, to move it into a water tower for watering crops, or to do a variety of things. Prestidigitation can be used to make simple trinket tools like snips to cut plants. Mage Hands can pick fruit from tall trees. Create Bonfire and Fire Bolt could be used to clear brush or light an area. Familiars can scout for pests, pick hard to reach ffruit, etc.... Alarm can secure areas to notify of trespassers (humanoid or beast). Unseen servants can service the fields. Floting Disks can carry crops, tools, and other materials. Those spell slots can be used for sleep spells to protect the crops from pests. I have thought about this a lot as I have a society in my setting where [I]everyone[/I] goes to magic school. If they fail, they are banished. In my setting, the PC types are 'Got Touched' which allows them to learn class abilities at a faster rate. People that are not God Touched learn class skills far more slowly. Most humans spending their entire life pursuing magic would only achieve 5th level after a lifetime of work. These people that achieve 1st level wizar status and are not God Touched are usually about 30 years old when they exit school. Regardless - magic replaces a lot of mundane labor in this setting. When PCs visit the culture, the world is very different in comparison to the other more typical fantasy setting locations. [/QUOTE]
