Some of the spells (such as detect disease and pregnancy) do not appear because I consider them in their current incarnations to be of higher level. Others (such as divine romantic interest or wet dream) are absent because I think they need revising. Some come from the blue, and others have been distorted beyond all recognition. Regardless of how mutilated your contributions have become, I thank each of you for contributing your ideas to the hotpot.I won’t offer detailed justification for the spells below, but I feel that cantrips should be ‘useful, in a kind of useless way’. People should want them around, but won’t rely on them or use them for big impact – they basically allow spellcasters some room to show off. I have prioritised those spells that fit with 3e mechanics, and those that are mildly humorous, if only for a pun’d name.Have a look through and voice your suggestions and concerns.Oh, and some descriptors:[Arousal] – Induces physical Arousal. Creatures that cannot be Aroused (Constructs, Elementals, Oozes, Plants, Undead, Vermin, some Aberrations and Outsiders) are immune to [Arousal] effects.[Libido-Affecting] – Modifies a subject’s sexual alignment or kinks, else induces mental Horniness. A spell with the [Libido-Affecting] descriptor is considered to also be [Mind-Affecting]. Creatures immune to mind-influencing effects and those that do not have a sexual alignment are immune to [Libido-Affecting] effects.0th LEVEL SPELLS (CANTRIPS/ORISONS)Arousing HandsComelinessDisrupt ConceptionFlavourFrigid TouchMage BackhandMage FingersRepulsiveness Arousing HandsTransmutation [Arousal]Brd 0, Sor/Wiz 0Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 actionRange: TouchTarget: One living creatureDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: Fortitude negatesSpell Resistance: YesYour hands are enveloped in crackling motes of energy, inducing arousal with a touch.

You inflict one point of subdual damage, forcing spellcasters to make a Concentration check (DC 11 + spell level) to successfully cast a spell, and leave a stinging red mark.Mage FingersEvocation [Force]Level: Brd 0, Sor/Wiz 0Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 actionRange: CloseEffect: An invisible magical handDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: 1 roundSpell Resistance: YesAn invisible replica of your hand appears at a point you designate within the spell’s range. The hand of force mirrors your own actions, allowing you to exert pressure as you desire provided it does not exceed 1lb. The hand is too frail to use tools effectively.You may use this effect to playfully tweak, goose or pinch a part of a subject’s anatomy; if the subject is a spellcaster, for the duration of this spell they must succeed at a Concentration check (DC 10 + spell level) to cast a spell.RepulsivenessIllusion (Glamer)Brd 0, Drd 0, Sor/Wiz 0Components: V, S, MCasting Time: 1 actionRange: TouchTarget: One creatureDuration: 10 minutes/levelSaving Throw: Will negates (harmless) or Will disbelief (see text)Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) or No (see text)You blight the subject’s skin and bloat their features, giving them a -1 enhancement penalty to Bluff, Diplomacy, Perform and Prowess checks.
