[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9537441, member: 52734"] In my main homebrew, it's possible to do most cantrips without being heard or seen - a spellcaster can use them with Stealth without a problem, and generally unless they have obvious effects (such as [I]Firebolt[/I]) or the caster is being flamboyant, someone has to be actively looking to spot them being cast. This can make [I]prestidigitation[/I], [I]friends[/I] and [I]guidance[/I] somewhat potent as they can be sneakily cast on targets to evade detection. Leveled spells are pretty obvious; anyone who can physically see the caster can tell someone is making Somatic motions (though Arcana to identify the spell), Verbal spells can be whispered, spoken in normal tones or shouted, but they have to be clear enough to make the correct sound(s) - it's possible to use Stealth with them but that has to be an active choice to do so. Material components have to be presented (so they can't be hidden in a sleeve or such), so if someone knows what to look for, they can be outed. This makes subtle spell fairly valuable for those who want to disguise their magic casting, such as charms. [/QUOTE]
