His whole thing was that 3.5 was littered with non-combat magic and 4e isn't. So I actually agree with you: you can do those things in 3ed. In 3.x, Prestidigitation was a 0 level that lasted for one hour. So you could do everything I said for one or more hours, depending on the total number of spell slots you had. (Because you can always cast a 0 level spell in a higher level spell slot.) So the only rules limitation is the number of spell slots the arcane spell caster had.Personally, I always took prestidigitation, even as a sorcerer with limited known 0 levels. Though, as a wizard, I didn't always prepare Prestidigitation at low levels (1st-3rd), but I often did. Once I was a mid-to-high level wizard I prepared one instance of Prestidigitation everyday, just in case. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />One interesting thing to note: in 3.x a sorcerer could theoretically cast Prestidigitation at lot more than a wizard because the class didn't prepare spells ahead of time. Wizards, if they prepared Prestidigitation at all, would likely only prepare it once. In 4th, wizards can cast it an infinite number of times. (At the rate of about once every six seconds), but a sorcerer doesn't get it automatically. I grabbed a feat for my 4e NPC sorcerer that let him use Prestidigitation as an encounter power. So he can use it infinitely as well. (At the rate of about once every five minutes.)</blockquote>
