With the power enforced by this spell, you would imagine a lot of deals and pacts would be sealed this way. It would lead to the erosion of "using your word" to finish deals, afterall, why trust in a person when you can get angels to enforce good behavior?Calculate: This gives you early computer levels of mathematical power. A caster with this spell can do the math in seconds that it would take the greatest math genius to ever live an 1 hour to do....that is actually obscenely fast. A cabal of casters with this simple cantrip could be crunching the numbers done in like 1960's society with computing.Continual Flame - the classic economy breaker, its a spell with continuous use over several generation, should assume that any city reasonable resources should be awash in light. Its basically a better lightbulb than the lightbulb.Detect Poison and Disease: though LU did nerf it a bit, ultimately its a 1st level ritual, meaning any community with a cleric should have this spell on tap. Plagues should be far weaker in most communities, feeling ill....swing by the cleric, and he will immediately know if your sick and should be quarantined. Fabricate: The other common economy killer. A wizard with tool proficiency in this spell would drive any regular artisan out of business, unless the artison is exceptionally skilled and can beat out quantity with quality. Any wizard with this ability should be able to become ludicrously rich unless you want to have a guild intervene and setup an entire plotline outside of your core game.Speak with Dead: Imagine picking the brains of the greatest minds for thousands of years after their dead. Learning the murderers of many crimes with a single spell. The unlimited nature of this spell makes it incredible abusable if you push it.Wall of Stone: In 10 minutes you can create ~40 tons of stone anywhere you want. Beyond just fashioning massive stone structures with ease, you can create your own insta quarry, with super easy to access stone right near your market. Completely changes the mining industry in seconds.</blockquote>
