[QUOTE="Salthorae, post: 7904996, member: 1095"] They're not glossed over in games I play, at any of the tables I play with. Prestidigitation is used often for just that purpose. You say "vain/comfort", I say "fundamentals of spellcasting cantrip". I find it odd when there are prepared caster PC's out there who don't have Druidcraft, Prestidigitation, or Thaumaturgy as known cantrips. It's like the basics they'd learn in Cleric/Druid/Wizard school. Plus it does way more than flavor food. It heats it too, or cools it down. :P It is used often in games I'm in to light torches that are 10' away on a wall or snuff them out to create lighting advantages for characters vs. opponents to don't have darkvision. It is used to mark walls in dungeons or a trail for companions to follow It is used to show people what you're looking for in miniature if you're searching for a person or thing. I've also seen it used with a flying familiar to show the layout of terrain in a wide area in miniature with opposing troops/forces at the time of casting in planning for combat or exploration . I can be used in social pillars just to entertain kids and garner goodwill with a town, etc. It is WAY more than just flavoring food... and can be very useful in combat in the right situation (just like Mold Earth is useful outside to create 5' pit to get cover in, which is the "right situation") [/QUOTE]
