It's pretty trivial to find videos on butchery online that show a full cow processed in 12 minutes. If you're not interested in ending up with neat accurate cuts of meat, you've got a lot of time on your hands.100 shots with a fire cantrip is going to leave you with a moderately cooked corpse. The lethality of firebolt isn't high enough for it to be burning holes through people.100 doses of acid splash will probably still leave you with a recognizable corpse (<a href="http://www.thecollapsedwavefunction.com/2013/08/the-mythbusters-take-on-breaking-bad.html" target="_blank">http://www.thecollapsedwavefunction.com/2013/08/the-mythbusters-take-on-breaking-bad.html</a>)Setting things on fire with firebolt comes down to your DM's specific interpretation of flammable. If his attitude is that with enough temperature anything is flammable, then yes: firebolt will be able to burn buildings down with no fuel, set fire to adamantium and ignite the moon. If it matches the definitions of, say, the MSDS (<a href="http://www.ilpi.com/msds/ref/flammablesolid.html" target="_blank">http://www.ilpi.com/msds/ref/flammablesolid.html</a>), then it can't set fire to paper. Those are both pretty ridiculous extremes.My rule of thumb is that if I can't ignite something with a cigarette lighter before it gets too hot to hold, then it's not going to catch from firebolt, and that will exclude most problems you seem to have.At 1 minute per break as long as the break is less than 1 foot. Where are you finding fleets of wagons that are unusable that only require castings of this? If you've got (say) a broken wagon axle, then you're going to need to unload the wagon, lift or overturn the wagon, realign the axle, then cast the spell, then reload the wagon.You don't even need to say that. You just need to read what the cantrips actually do and not be ridiculously generous with your interpretations and assumptions.</blockquote>
