So you get to pick two 0-level spells for yourself...

Uhm... I'm not sure that he meant IRL. Anyway, IRL I'd take prestidigitation and cure minor wounds; in game, I'd choose prestidigitation and detect magic.

Prestidigitation's extreme versatility makes it the single most useful 0-level spell IMO, both in game and IRL. Cure minor wounds provides for assured stabilization - I don't need it every day IRL, but once could be enough ;) - and instantly takes care of most small domestic accidents. Detect magic is often useful in game; it allows you to effectively gauge an enemy's power through the amount of magic he carries around, and coupled with a good Spellcraft allows to get good informations about a spell's effect or an item's power.

You actually need magic assistance for that? :D

note they are not personal spells. the humor of making your boss or coworker belch in a meeting is just too tempting. :D

or the sneeze guard line at a buffet. :eek:
 

IRL? Mage Hand & Cure Minor Wounds.

In-Game? Depends on the setting/campaign, but a "typical" D&D enviromnment? Probably Daze & Prestidigitation.
 

I would keep with the Core Books and go Light and Mage Hand, Message would be a good choice also.

I would call the feat Taint of ? (Magic) but would change the name to better fit my world myth, like calling it the Taint of Xor, who is know to be a wizard that created a lot of monsters.
 

While I'm tempted by the flashiest spell you can get for a cantrip or orison, Flare, I know that just wouldn't be super useful to me on a regular basis. In terms of sheer usefulness, I've got to go with light and mage hand. Gone are the days where you fumble around in the dark to try and see, and gone are the days where you have to go all the way across the room to get yourself a drink or pick up that tv remote. (Not to mention the variety of fun uses should you get yourself into a fight.)

I'd probably call my super cool magic gifts... magic? I wouldn't mind being called a mage. Or i could piss off the real mages and call my hedge wizardry "magick"... heh.
 

Thinking about the Guidance orison (or Luck cantrip, which has the same effect for a Hedge Wizard, I think), it's got a lot of power in our world in one particular situation:

The Lottery

Yeah, that's right. Mega-money from one low-level spell.

Consider that a +1 bonus in the game system is 1 on a roll of 20, or a 5 percent adjustment. Now consider that your best odds in a standard lottery are about 1 in 1 million (just to round the number for simplicity's sake here), a bare fraction of a percentage point. Casting a D&D-style +1 blessing as you have the machine randomly choose your lottery ticket for you is going to increase your winning odds DRAMATICALLY -- from .0001 percent to 5.0001 percent -- and even moreso if you repeat the process for each of the days that you can buy a ticket before the final drawing (after renewing your cantrips/orisons). In just a few weeks, it's highly likely you'll be a millionaire.

I've liked that combo but instead of number Message(good choice BTW) I'd have number 3 as arcane mark, perhaps I'd have Message and Arcane Mark. You also have the secrecy factor.....

Prestdigitation and arcane mark, with a few longing looks at other spells.
 


I'm a mostly-FR DM and player, so I'd call it Weavetouched or Weaveborn.

In a game world, I'd want Guidance and Mage Hand, for the myriad reasons explained above.

For me, IRL, I'd go with Summon Instrument and Dancing Lights. Instant concert anywhere, complete with laser show!

"Fender Strat, I choose you!"

Scene 1:

In the olden days, there was this sweet king that had mounds of gold and babes. These pirates decided to steal the mounds and surrounded the castle and everybody freaked, except the king who was like “Chill homies, I’ll handle this crap.”

The pirates stood outside the castle walls and were like “You think you are so cool, but guess what, you’re not. Good luck dying!” Then the king replied “Yeah right. How would you like to meet my best friends?”

Then out of nowhere there was a small sound of a guitar wailing really really hard behind the hills. The wailing started getting louder and louder and louder. Then out of nowhere there was this one sweet ass ninja standing on top of a huge hill. Everybody was like “Woooooooooooow!” He was wearing all black and he had this jet red guitar in his hands. Then smoke smoked over the hills like trains. But the smoke was ninjas. And the pirates saw about a billion ninjas with guitars standing on top this his huge hill. And they started to wail…

When the ninjas wailed on their guitars, the pirates started spraying diarrhea on each other and loved it. And when they wailed harder, the pirates sprayed harder. As the ninjas sauntered down the hill, the pirates’ chests and butts exploded. (They died from this.) Then the ninjas finally reached the boss pirate who was really huge. Out of nowhere the boss pirate pulled out this baby banjo and tried to fiddle with it like a little baby-baby. The ninjas were like “Yeah right.” and all the billions of ninjas surrounded the boss pirate. Half of the ninjas all combined to form the biggest guitar in the universe. The other half formed the second biggest boner in the universe. Then the huge guitar pointed right at the pirate, who was like “Holy CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!” Before the pirate could even do anything, the super boner slapped against the guitar making the hugest wail ever to happen anywhere ever. The pirate exploded so hard that every single one of his kids he would have had exploded and all of his grandparents exploded along with his neighbors and people who he merely said “hello” to.

Then there was this huge concert at the castle. All the babes in the castle morphed into this humongous female crotch. The huge boner and crotch porked softly, while slamming into the guitar and wailing. And guess what, the king sat on top of this huge pile of gold and babes and laughed his frigg’n ass off about how stupid the pirates were.
