[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7643320, member: 20564"] Okay, when talking about hiring for acid or electrical resistance (a great idea!) it would seem that you are positing a world where the magic is acknowledged and present in enough quantity to make that reasonable. I'd go for something like Zone of Truth or other magics of that ilk. Again, with the acceptance and potentially commonality, I think it would revolutionize human's justice systems and politics. Low level divination would I think would be eagerly sought after. Even Augury's Weal or Woe would be useful from Project Managers through CEOs, all levels of military, and Heads of State. Plant Growth. A single 8-hour casting enriches all plants in a 1 mile diameter for a year, yielding twice the food. Think about that in a lot of countries, especially ones where distribution is hard. But really, you mentioned healing - with all of the healing, cure disease, regeneration, and raise dead we might reduce early death that having more food in the same area is needed. Smaller things - Locate Creature to help in rescue efforts. Geas for short term legal repercussions. Illusions for storytelling, entertainment and advertising. Just about any spell that people have complained "breaks the economy". I'm leaving out planar travel spells, don't know how you envision them in the real world. [/QUOTE]
