[NSFW] Divine Orisons

Divine Orisons
Those damn, dirty wizards think they can have all the at-wills they want and no one else will try to mimic that "0-level" feel? Not if the clerics have anything to do with it.

Create a divine at-will power designed to function as a flavor power, similar to the wizard cantrips. They can be useful in combat, but these orisons (to steal the old term) must be intended for roleplaying/non-combat functions primarily. Make food taste better, endow a minor blessing on a target, enter a trance-like state to commune with a nearby church of your god... whatever you can think of.


WHAT IS NSFW?
Work is boring. Gaming is fun. Work should be more like gaming.

Not Suitable For Work is a new addition to Combat Advantage, the free 4e series of PDFs from Emerald Press PDF Publishing. Every month will have a theme to which any number of brainstorming exercises will be made. Each week or so, we will post a new thread for 4e material utilizing that theme and everyone is open to submit their concepts on EN World. The trick to this game is that you must rely on your memory of the game and cannot use any supplements, core rulebooks, or online references - simply use your innate knowledge of the game to create new material on the fly. Accuracy is not immediately required - these are brainstorms for new ideas, concepts, and add-ons to 4e. Throw in your ideas, no matter how crazy they are because you never know what they may lead to.

NSFW is not a contest and is designed solely as a recreational design exercise for those of you stuck at work, school, or anywhere else on your lunch breaks with nothing to do. Waiting for that report to come back from management? Homework? Eww. Check out the theme and post your ideas for this week’s exercise. There’s no voting, no deadlines, or bad ideas. It’s all about having a little bit of fun while the boss isn’t looking. Enough talk!

Post your ideas below. Remember these are exercises built for enjoyment and mental exercise of the game. Accuracy is not required on every little detail and some mistakes are forgiveable. (See?) If you'd like to post a revised version of your entry, just be sure to type in which version under Reason for Edits. If you want to post more than one entry, go crazy. It's all just in the name of having fun while you're not supposed to.[/SIZE]

I love the Invoker and was missing cantrips when designing Gandalf recently... I am hoping to see something cool for Orisons.
