it does not automatically cause damage or throw concentration off for
another individual.Example A Zap Cantrip creates a Bolt of enengy that
can both interupt spellcasting and cause damage,but a successful attack
must still be made by the caster to hit the target.

since the sleep spell.(by the way check out the sleepy cantrip.)

Author: Thomas Weigel
This cantrip covers the print on the pages of a book and replaces it with the illusion of blank pages.
For the blank pages to be convincing, the pages in the book must be seen by the caster during the
casting, otherwise the blank pages might not match up with the real ones. Also, individual pages
may not be blanked. This is an all or nothing spell. The caster concentrates on blankness while
passing her left hand over the book and muttering the proper words.

The wizard creates a number of small bugs equal to his level. In the illusionist's case, these bugs are
only illusionary, but with the conjurer, they are real. If they are made to appear within the pockets

effects.

This cantrip causes a glowing arrow to appear in the cupped palm of the wizard. It is a light green
in colour, and wavers around in the general direction of north. The spell will work underground, as
well as at sea, and is not affected by a lodestone, but it is only exactly right about 25% of the time

on.

Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: One grape
Saving Throw: None
Author: Ronald Jones (Greymoon)
By use of this spell an apprentice can convert the contents of a grape into fermented wine. It will
not change the skin of the grape, so it will keep its shape. This spell is mostly used by apprentices
tired of the same old food from teachers who do not approve of alcohol, but it could also be good
in an emergency for use against alcohol-sensitive monsters.
Firefinger
(Evocation)
Range: 0

Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: The wizard's finger
Saving Throw: None

Author: Unknown
This cantrip allows the wizard to impersonate any speaker with nearly perfect ability. The wizard
can only speak in languages he knows, and must possess a small item recently in close proximity to
the original speaker (for example, an article of clothing). The wizard's audience will probably be
greatly amused if they can see who is speaking, or completely fooled if not. The material
component is a mirror, which is consumed in the casting.
Invisible Scribe

Range: 3 feet
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Concentration
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Unknown
By casting this cantrip, the wizard brings into existence a field of force able to write on normal
materials with a quill pen. The wizard must sit quietly for the duration of the writing, and simply
speaks what is to be written. The invisible scribe writes in a handwriting vaguely like the wizard's in
any language the wizard knows how to read. It is fairly slow. The material component for the spell
is ink, which is consumed in the casting.
Jamye's Appearing Ink

Reversible
Range: 0
Components: V
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: D.J. McCarthy
This cantrip turns a small amount of ink (up to one pint) into water. The ink remains clear and
colourless until it dries, at which time it reverts to its normal state. The reverse, Jamye's

Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Equivalent of one bottle or less
Saving Throw: None
Author: Ronald Jones (Greymoon)
By casting this spell, an apprentice or wizard is able to tell what quality of wine or champagne he is
drinking. This spell will let the caster know by quickly flashing a colour, on the surface of the drink,
corresponding to the level of quality. It will also warn of possible spoilage (but not of poison). The
colour black means poor or bad quality. Blue means good or average quality. A light blue means
very good and white means excellent. If the flash is black and red, the wine has spoilt. This spell
was developed by apprentices who were tired of getting poor-quality wines for dinner. They also
didn't want to keep being ripped off in pubs. The material component for this spell is a white
feather.
Know Vintage
(Divination)
Range: 0
Components: S, M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Equivalent of one bottle or less
Saving Throw: None
Author: Ronald Jones (Greymoon)
By use of this spell, an apprentice or wizard is able to tell the vintage (year) of one siingle bottle of
wine or champagne. It is also possible to tell, with a 10% chance of failure, the vineyard or winery
where the wine came from. This spell is very useful for those who are not sure about a particular
bottle of wine. A small drop of wine from the bottle is necessary to cast the spell.
Narek's Shears
(Alteration)
Reversible
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: One target
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Narek
Narek's shears causes hair, fur, or fur-like growth on the target to shorten by up to an inch,
possibly causing it to disappear. Its effect on nearly bare skin is to completely prevent growth for 2
days. The reverse of this spell, augmented hairiness, causes hair or fur to thicken and lengthen by
up to two inches. This increase is permanent until the hair is trimmed or cut. Neither form affects
rugs, furs, or any other hair or fur not on a living body. Unwilling targets get a saving throw versus
spell.
Narin's Mask
(Illusion)
Range: 0
Components: V, M
Duration: 10 minutes
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Narin
This spell causes others to not see the details of the wizard's face. Anyone paying attention to the
wizard is entitled to a saving throw versus spell. If the saving throw succeeds, they realise that they
cannot discern some detail in the wizard's face; careful attention will then negate the spell. A dispel
illusion will cancel the spell entirely. The material component of this spell is a blindfold.
Notice
(Enchantment/Charm)
Range: 0
Components: V
Duration: Concentration
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None
Author: Unknown
With this cantrip, the wizard can put himself into a trance-like state in which he is highly aware of
the details of his surroundings. 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 loses any
Dexterity bonus to Armour Class and takes a further -2 penalty, and is likely to ignore most
attempts at communicating with him. The wizard can break the trance at any time.
Pitch
(Evocation)
Range: 0
Components: V
Duration: 2 rounds
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None
Author: Martin Ott
This cantrip sounds a perfectly-tuned note from out of nowhere. The note is centred on the wizard,
and can be heard from a distance of 20 feet. 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.
To cast this cantrip, the caster 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 high C".
Remove
(Alteration)
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: 1-yard per level cube touched
Saving Throw: None
Author: Unknown
Like sort, remove can remove a number of things from a pile of things. The objects removed are
not gone, but placed on a pile adjacent to the original pile. This cantrip has the same restrictions
and capacities as sort (q.v.).
Sanh's Harmless Ray of Light
(Evocation)
Range: 6 yards + 1 yard per level
Components: V, S
Duration: One second
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Max Becherer
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 DM's option, creatures particularly
sensitive to light may be dazzled for a longer period of time.
Note: while the spell is magical, the light generated is not, and therefore is not subject to magic
resistance.
Sort
(Alteration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1 minute
Area of Effect: 1-yard per level cube touched
Saving Throw: None
Author: Unknown
This cantrip separates the specified amount of any mixture of dry materials: salt and pepper, for
example, or gold, platinum, and bronze. The cantrip does not affect living things, and cannot be
used to separate materials bound together, i.e., mortar, plaster or stone.
Stepping Stones
(Evocation)
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round per 4 levels
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Four spheres, 1-foot diameter each
Saving Throw: None
Author: Unknown
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.
Combat of just about any sort will destroy these very useful discs, so they are not useful in combat.
Furthermore, these disks cannot inflict any damage to anything, since they are made by a cantrip.
Styrman's Luminous Eyes
(Alteration)
Range: 0
Components: S
Duration: 1 round
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None
Author: Styrman
This cantrip causes the caster's eyes to become luminous (not a light source worth a damn, but
pretty impressive).
Tune
(Alteration)
Reversible
Range: 0
Components: V or M
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 5-foot radius sphere
Saving Throw: None
Author: Martin Ott
With this cantrip, the bard can bring one note of an instrument in tune with either a hummed note,
the equivalent note played by a second instrument (in which case the component of the spell is that
other instrument, which is obviously not consumed in the casting; what good would that do?), or
the result of a preceding pitch cantrip (q.v.). The one note will end up perfectly in tune with the
reference note. As many instruments as are in the area of effect can be brought into tune at once.
A well-tuned instrument (with two or more tuned notes) has the effect of making the bard's songs
more melodious and enjoyable; this has the game effects of reducing the saving throws of hostile
creatures versus the bard's mood-altering story telling by 1, as well as making the bard's
morale-boosting song affect the listeners for an additional 50% longer (i.e., one-and-a-half rounds
per level) than it usually does.
Too many notes perfectly tuned on an instrument, however, will have a negative effect on other
bards in the area, who will realise that the tuned instrument has been magically tampered with to
sound so perfect. For each note above one that the instrument has been tuned, the hostile bard
personally gets a +1 to his saving throw versus the playing bard's influencing reactions effects.
Although the tuning is instantaneous, the effects of the cantrip last for a while. In perfect conditions
(humidity on the low side, comfortable temperature, no rough handling), the instrument will stay
tuned for a week. In less than perfect conditions (typical adventuring abuse, for example), the
instrument will have to be re-tuned every day. If the instrument is taken apart for storage, such as
flutes or other woodwinds are, the instrument will have to be re-tuned every time it is reassembled.
The reverse of this cantrip, untune, causes one note of the specified instrument to become horribly
out of tune. It also has the side effect of turning the wizard's hands a brilliant red for one turn after
the cantrip is cast, unfortunately.
Umbrella
(Abjuration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hour per level
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None
Author: Unknown
As with all cantrips, this one can be very useful, but not very powerful. It manifests itself as a field
of force that resembles an umbrella. It lasts for up to one hour per level of the wizard at most, but
if the concentration of the wizard is broken for more than one round, it will fade away. It actually
does have some form and is "worth" 6 HP, but only magical weapons will affect it.
Wash
(Invocation/Evocation)
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: One 10x10x10 foot cube
Saving Throw: None
Author: Thomas Weigel
This spell removes dirt from all smooth surfaces in the area of effect. This includes skin, dishes, and
stone walls, but not wood (unless highly polished), a dirt floor, etc. The caster sweeps her arm in a
wide arc while muttering the arcane phrase.
