Wizardry/Sorcery

Cantrips

There are many levels of Wizardry/Sorcery magic, with a cantrip being the lowest. Whereas higher level spells might be summoning miniature suns to blaze through your opponents, a cantrip would be lighting a match. They are much easier to cast, easier to learn, and typically the most common uses of magic. Cantrips are a form of magic spells learned and used by apprentice Wizards during their long, rigorous, and tedious training for the craft of magic-use. They spend hours practicing and perfecting these small magics that can be cast without much effort, so that they can learn and Master the higher magics as well as be able to withstand the energies produced from higher magics. Typically they're small effects like generating an orb of light, a puff of smoke, or a puddle of acid. But don't underestimate their impact. With creativity and good luck cantrips can be game changing.

A cantrip is a spell that can be cast with a very low P.P.E cost and without being prepared in advance. Only those which involve living creatures afford any saving throw. Individuals in a state of extreme concentration (such as when casting a spell) do not generally have that concentration broken by person-affecting cantrips (5% chance). The effects of cantrips, and the people and items affected by them, radiate a very faint magical aura.

Hairy
Level: 0
P.P.E. Cost: 1/2
Range:5 feet
Damage: N/A
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Standard
Description: While this cantrip is not actually one of the standard useful ones which apprentices reverse for mischievousness, it is one which is generally used for no good purpose. It causes hair, fur, or hair like growth to thicken and lengthen. Thus, a head of hair, a peach, a beard, a cat, or whatever could be affected. The growth will cause the subject material to increase from 2-12 inches in length. The subject material must be trimmed or cut to remove the cantrip s effect. This cantrip can be reversed to shorten growth or effectively shave, but since the effect on short material (growth under 1 inch in length) is complete absence of growth for 2-12 days, it is not often used. Back
Harmless Ray of Light
Level: 0
P.P.E. Cost: 1/2
Range:6 yards + 1 yard per level
Damage: N/A
Duration: One second
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: Special
Description: When cast, a ray of light is emitted from the wizard's index finger, lasting about a second. The colour is up to the wizard (sunlight cannot be duplicated, as the ray is monochromatic, like a laser). If aimed at a creature, a saving throw versus spell is required. If the saving throw succeeds, the ray missed. If it fails, the ray hits, inflicting no damage. Only a critical failure (1) can result in any ill effect. In that case, the victim was struck in the eyes, and is dazzled for 1D6 tenths of a round (-2 on all rolls). Of course, if the creature in question is blind, or immune to such attacks, there is no effect. At the GM's option, creatures particularly sensitive to light may be dazzled for a longer period of time. Back
Haze

P.P.E. Cost: 1/2
Range:1 foot cube
Damage: N/A
Duration: 15 seconds
Saving Throw: None
Description: When a haze cantrip is cast, the atmosphere in the desired area of effect becomes cloudy, as if layered by smoke or filled with floating dust. Any creature attempting to discharge missiles or cast spells at a target screened by such a haze will be affected. The target is 5% harder to hit, so missile discharge is at 1 to hit and saving throws are at +1 (if a to hit roll is required.) Hiding in shadows is 5% more effective when screened by a haze cantrip. The hazy effect lasts but 15 seconds. It must be cast over an area with 1 foot of the caster. Atmospheric conditions will destroy the haze if applicable, a good breeze, rain, etc. A gust of wind spell will immediately disperse the haze. Back

The cantrip lasts for 10 minutes on an object of 2 cubic yards or less in volume, but only half that for anything larger.
Note: The magic does not affect sound, so that if a crowing rooster were made to seemingly disappear, the noise of its cry would still be heard. Likewise, if an elephant were hidden by the cantrip, the sound of its tread, trumpeting, or even breathing might be heard. Back

P.P.E. Cost: 1/2
Range:Touch
Damage: N/A
Duration: 1 minute
Saving Throw: Standard
Description: The mute cantrip allows the caster to alter the shape of small objects of a mineral nature. The magic is effective against glass, metal, stone, etc. A plane can be altered to a rod, a torus to a sphere, etc. Thus, a coin could be changed to be a ring. Similarly, glass could be changed to crystal, lead to silver, copper to gold, etc. However, magical items are too strong for this cantrip to affect them. If another individual actually touches the object affected, they make a saving throw vs. spell magic and if it succeeds the cantrip is dispelled. Back

P.P.E. Cost: 1/2
Range:5 feet
Damage: N/A
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Standard

Damage: N/A
Duration: Special

For the duration of the trance, the wizard is at +2 perception (or +4 if there is something particular he is looking for), but cannot take any actions. Also, he is at a -2 penalty to rolls and is likely to ignore most attempts at communicating with him. The wizard can break the trance at any time, and can do so in response to a remark he "didn't hear", an impending attack, or whatever - it is assumed that his subconscious will snap him out if really necessary.

Things that block normal noise (walls, curtains, silence, 15-foot radius, etc.) block this as well. This spell is useful for tuning instruments "by ear", or with the help of a tune cantrip. It is also slightly disturbing to those around the wizard, as any single note would be if held outfor two rounds. To cast this cantrip, the bard must speak out loud the name of the note he wishes to hear, such as "middle C", "B flat", or "quarter-step above the first F sharp above Back

Naturally, the desired object must be relatively clean in order for the cantrip to be effective.

The colours will glow softly and be visible even in total (non-magical) darkness. If no motion is desired, the caster may leave the vicinity of the rainbow; however if motion is desired, the caster must control it, and remain within 1 foot of one end of it. The rainbow will last for 1 minute and then fade away. All creatures failing to save will gaze at the rainbow for 1D4 seconds (1D4+1 if the caster keeps it in motion.) Back

Description: This cantrip is the reverse of stitch. It will work only if there is a loose or broken thread in the seam or fabric to be affected, except for material magically stitched by the appropriate cantrip.

Range:0
Damage: N/A
Duration: Instantaneous
Area of Effect: Piece of clothing touched

Damage: N/A
Duration: Instantaneous or 1 hour
Area of Effect: 5' radius

Description: You choose an area of water that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You manipulate it in one of the following ways:
1. You instantaneously move or otherwise change the flow of the water as you direct, up to 5 feet in any direction. This movement doesn t have enough force to cause damage.
2. You cause the water to form into simple shapes and animate at your direction. This change lasts for 1 hour.
3. You change the water s color or opacity. The water must be changed in the same way throughout. This change lasts for 1 hour.
4. You freeze the water, provided that there are no creatures in it. The water unfreezes in 1 hour.

Description: Similar to the polish cantrip, this magic allows the caster to remove tarnish, rust, corrosion, and similar substances from the desired object. This cantrip brings about a mirror-bright shine to objects capable of such, causing their surfaces to be smooth and unmarred. A piece of jewelry, for instance, would be made more attractive, and the gems (only of such a piece might be actually made more valuable.) If base value of the gem(s) in a piece of jewelry was originally decreased, and a shine cantrip is used upon the object, then the owner may (if desired) find out whether the value of the gem(s) has been changed. No gem can be re-valued in this manner more than once. Back

Range:1D4 feet
Damage: Special
Duration: Instantaneous
Area of Effect: A few square feet
Saving Throw: Special
Description: When this cantrip is cast, a shower of sparks sprays forth from the wizard's hand. These sparks are harmless unless cast in the presence of highly flammable or explosive substances.

Such injury can be avoided with a successful saving throw versus breath weapon at +4. Back
Spice
Level: 0
P.P.E. Cost: 1/2
Range:5 feet
Damage: N/A
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: None
Description: Unlike the flavour cantrip, this magic actually brings a particular spice to the object of food or drink. Thus, ginger, pepper, and like spices can be brought to add zest (or disguise.) Herbs such as bay leaf, garlic, parsley, and so forth can likewise be evoked by this cantrip. The quantity is sufficient to spice food or drink for about a dozen people.

Spider
Level: 0
P.P.E. Cost: 1/2
Range:1 foot
Damage: Special
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: None
Description: Much as the bee, bug or mouse cantrips, spider summons a small, ordinary spider from elsewhere to the location desired by the caster, up to 1 foot distant from his or her person. The arachnid so summoned will usually be a common garden spider or the like, no larger than an inch or two in diameter, and basically harmless. There is a 5% chance that the creature will turn out to be one with powerful poison (black widow, brown recluse, etc.) Since the spider summoned will be annoyed, the creature upon which it finds itself, if such is the caste, will be subject to an immediate bite attack. This will have only a momentary effect, distracting the victim for a couple of seconds if it is a normal spider. If the spider is of the poisonous sort, the victim must also make a saving throw vs. poison. Back

P.P.E. Cost: 1/2
Range:5 feet
Damage: N/A
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: None
Description: The opposite of a gather cantrip, this enables the caster to cause the contents of a container to spill out. The object container is actually tipped by the cantrip, and since the magic is not powerful, containers of more than about 1 gallon in size, or magical ones, will not be affected by the cantrip.

Saving Throw: None
Description: This cantrip creates 4 spheres of force of approximately 1 foot in diameter. They can be placed anywhere within 20 feet of each other, and last approximately 1 round per 4 levels of the wizard.

Range:Special
Damage: N/A
