Choose One Cantrip You'd Like In Real Life

Who is your cousin?

Tonya Kay

Cleaning is one of the instant effects. It lists the effects and durations in the examples.

Tonya Kay

Ah, Creature. I've met her a couple of times at conventions. Seemed nice.

What a useless thread...
But greatly entertaining!


Spare the Dying, hmmm... dead or stable after 3 to 6 death saves, means you have to be there within 12 seconds. That will not happen often. But if - priceless.

Mage Hand, great.

I like Druidcraft, perfect 24 hour weather forecast? Cool.

Mending, I'd love to have that. In case it works for all kinds of complicated modern tech stuff.

But my final pick:
Prestidigitation
I have kids, I'm lazy concerning cleaning, have lots of laundry.
Always tasty food and cool or warm drinks, yeah!
Getting old...

I am a bit surprised nobody has chosen Thaumaturgy yet.

30' range, lasts for up to a minute, you create minor mircles at a whim. Booming voice, flickering flames which can change color, tremors in the ground, instant remote sounds, make doors and windows fly open or slam shut, completely alter your eyes (not just color but their entire appearance), and have three of these effects going at once. I mean, this is the "scare people into thinking you're an angel/demon walking the earth" cantrip

You'd be burned as a witch or captured by the government for vivisection in about 6 hours.

Dancing Lights is the obvious choice.

Hey, no one said it had to be a useful cantrip!

Yep!

She is the Odd Duck in the Family. One of my personal, favorite family members. She was also a dancer in STOMP and Panic at the Disco and in the final dance at the end of The Muppets (2011).

Sure, but if I posed a demon, I got nothing to defend myself against the hordes of do-gooders looking to exorcise me with their assault rifles.



Maybe if I looked like The Rock or Taylor Swift people would think I'm an angel.

I don't know if it has been mentioned, but prestidigitation can be used for magic tricks that absolutely astound people. The best magicians in Vegas make millions. Not only would my clothes and house be clean, but it would be a VERY big house.

No joke, I am encouraged by how pacifist and helpful the ENWorld community is! If a little prone to deception and trickery, maybe...

Hey, a lot of us are American.

We can just use prestidigitation to help steal guns.

Way better at killing than Acid Splash.
