Cantrips are tricks of magic, not truly spells but tricks of mental dexterity that often teach the basics of a spell tome. The lesser mages practice only cantrips, claiming these strange tricks have unconsidered power.

  1. Cantrip: Passing Breeze As an action you may conjure a gust of wind to knock over small objects, slam doors or extinguish lights. With a concentrated effort (as if casting a slow spell) you may fling a close object of an a slot or less.

  2. Cantrip: Friendly Ember You conjure a small floating ember which moves at your command, although it cannot stray beyond arms reach. This ember gives off enough heat to light a candle or kindling if touched to it.

  3. Cantrip: Infectious Glyph You trace a glyph alongside a small message and flick it towards a piece of text you can see, the gyph infects the text and begins to overwrite it with itself. It consumes words in minutes, pages in hours and books in days. Skilled librarians know the counter rune to this, which can partially restore the text if cast quickly, but anyone can kill the rune by striking it out.

  4. Cantrip: Duck's Back You conjure a sheet of thin, invisible, sticky cloth. This cloth can be used to coat objects or worn like a cloak. This cloth is completely impermeable to liquids, such as water. The cloth disappears at dawn each day.

  5. Cantrip: Ventrilomancy Your voice becomes audible to all creatures who can see you no matter the sound level around them or the volume of your voice.

  6. Cantrip: Ductile Modification You make a material you can touch over minutes, more or less flexible, allowing it to bend like a spring or be as rigid as stone. The spell lasts for an hour before it slowly fades, the material returning to it's original properties.

  7. Cantrip: Mages Kettle You may make a cups full of water boil, freeze or be any temperature between you desire.

  8. Cantrip: Sleight of Magic You may cause an object that is able to be completely enclosed in your hand vanish and appear as you desire.
