Cantrips are minor spells. The cantrip spell is a practice method for the apprentice, teaching him how to tap minute amounts of magical energy. Once cast, the cantrip spell enables the caster to create minor magical effects for the duration of the spell.

So minor are these effects that they have severe limitations. They are completely unable to cause a loss of hit points, cannot affect the concentration of spellcasters, and can only create small, obviously magical materials. Furthermore, materials created by a cantrip are extremely fragile and cannot be used as tools of any sort. Lastly, a cantrip lacks the power to duplicate any other spell effects.

Whatever manifestation the cantrip takes, it remains in effect only as long as the sorcerer concentrates. Cantrips can be used to impress common folk, amuse children, and brighten dreary lives.

Common tricks with cantrips include tinklings of ethereal music, brightening faded flowers, glowing balls that float over the caster's hand, puffs of wind to flicker candles, spicing up aromas and flavors of bland food, and little whirlwinds to sweep dust under rugs. Combined with the unseen servant spell, these are the tools to make housekeeping and entertaining simpler for the sorcerer.

This spell affects any single person it is cast upon. The term person includes any bipedal human, demihuman, or humanoid of man-size or smaller, such as brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, troglodytes, and others. Thus, a 10th-level fighter could be charmed, but an ogre could not.

The person receives a saving throw vs. spell to avoid the effect, with any adjustment due to Wisdom (see Table 5). If the person receives damage from the caster group in the same round the charm is cast an additional bonus of +1 per hit point of damage received is added to the victim's saving throw.

If the spell recipient fails his saving throw, he regards the caster as a trusted friend and ally to be heeded and protected. The spell does not enable the caster to control the charmed creature as if it were an automaton, nor does it create false memories or impose a sense of servitude, but any word or action of the caster is viewed in the most favorable way.

Thus, a charmed person would not obey suicide command, but he might believe the caster if assured that the only chance to save the caster's life is for the person to hold back an on rushing red dragon for "just a round or two." A charmed person would not give up money or magical items, although they could be persuaded to spot the caster for a shared round of drinks. Charming a gruff and sour individual does not make them sweet and kind. This spell does not impart any language skills on caster or subject.

The duration of the spell is a function of the charmed person's Intelligence and is tied to the saving throw. The spell may be broken if a successful saving throw is rolled, and this saving throw is checked on a periodic basis, according to the creature's Intelligence (see the following table). If the caster harms, or attempts to harm, the charmed person by some overt action, or if a dispel magic spell is successfully cast upon the charmed person, the charm spell is broken.

If two or more charm effects simultaneously affect a creature, the result is decided by the DM. This could range from one effect being clearly dominant, to the subject being torn by conflicting desires, to new saving throws that could negate both spells.
Note that the subject has full memory of the events that took place while he was charmed.

Time Between Checks for Intelligence Score of...
3 or less: 3 months
4 to 6: 2 months
7 to 9: 1 month
10 to 12: 3 weeks
13 to 14: 2 weeks
15 to 16: 1 weeks
17: 3 days
18: 2 days
19 or more: 1 days

Note: The period between checks is the time period during which the check occurs. When to roll the check during this time is determined (randomly or by selection) by the DM. The roll is made secretly. Once the spell has worn off, the enchantment may become apparent to the individual. A simple innkeeper who gave favorable treatment to a customer many weeks ago and hasn't thought about the caster since may remain unaware, whereas a person who had a more memorable interaction with the caster may find upon reflection that their actions only make sense in the context of a charm.

Magic is present in many different forms and strengths, radiating into the world around it with corresponding flavors and intensities, forming a field of background magic.

By means of this spell, the caster becomes sensitive enough to the field of background magic to feel differences in its intensity. To work sell, the caster needs stillness in body, mind, and in the field of background magic. Using this spell while dancing or surrounded by various magical devices could create an unstable background that may produce inaccurate readings.

Both range and intensity of difference increase with time spent channeling this spell. Initially, overwhelming magic can be detected within 10 feet. With ever round of channeling, the range can be doubled or the sensitivity of the spell can be increased by one category (overwhelming -> strong -> moderate -> faint -> dim). These effects can be mixed. No further improvements can be made after 7 rounds of channeling, although the existing effects can be extended.

Example: Someone who wants to detect overwhelming magic at a great range could channel this spell for 7 rounds to detect overwhelming magic at up to 640 feet away.

Example: Someone else could channel for 7 rounds to be able to detect all difference in magic up to 40 feet away

This spell increases the amount of time that a wooden object will burn before being consumed. Wood that is enchanted in this manner burns brightly without being consumed for the duration of the spell. When the spell ends, the wooden object crumbles to ash.
This spell does not cause the wood to catch fire; it must be ignited normally. While it burns, the wood gives off twice the normal amount of heat; thus, a single log can make a cozy fire.

The affected wood radiates magic. The sorcerer may enchant up to 1 cubic foot of wood per level of experience. The spell is effective on torches.

By placing their hands against the (inanimate and solid) object to be enchanted and making the correct movements with their mouth, as if speaking words to a spell but with no sound, the object enchanted becomes sound proof for the duration of the spell. The object to be affected must not have any side longer than the caster's level in feet. Thus a barrel (3' x 2') could be made soundproof by a 3rd level caster.

Example: A door enchanted thusly would not let sound pass through it. A person inside a barrel enchanted with this spell could hear themselves speak, but nobody outside the barrel could - assuming the lid was on. A sound proof arrow hitting a bell would still ring the bell, because the bell is not sound proofed. A glass enchanted smashed with an enchanted hammer would shatter in silence, although if it were thrown on the ground there might be a very slight sound from the stone when the glass hits.

A taunt spell enables the caster to jape and jeer effectively at a single type of creature with an Intelligence of 2 or greater.
The caster need not speak the language of the creatures. His words and sounds have real meaning for the subject creature or creatures: challenging, insulting, and generally irritating and angering the listeners. Those failing to save vs. spell rush forth in fury to do battle with the spellcaster.

All affected creatures attack the spellcaster in melee if physically capable of doing so, seeking to use body or hand-held weapons rather than missile weapons or spells.

Separation of the caster from the victim by an impenetrable or uncrossable boundary (a wall of fire, a deep chasm, a formation of set pikemen) causes the spell to break. If the caster taunts a mixed group, he must choose the type of creature to be affected. Creatures commanded by a strong leader (i.e., with a Charisma bonus, with higher Hit Dice, etc.) might gain a saving throw bonus of +1 to +4, at the DMs discretion.

If used in conjunction with a ventriloquism spell, the creatures may attack the apparent source, depending upon their Intelligence, a leader's presence, and so on.

This spell synchronizes the caster with the resonate frequency of a weapon of natural, non-metallic, material. This makes the weapon an extension of the caster’s body, granting them proficiency and allowing touch attacks to be cast through the weapon as part of an attack with it. The weapon is also considered a martial-arts weapon for purposes of martial arts rules.

Because touch attacks differ from damaging attacks, an attuned weapon can be used in either way. The method must be declared before the attack.

Touch Attacks: Make an attack as if a fighter of the same level. On a hit, deliver the effects of the touch spell only.

Melee attacks: Make a regular melee attack. On a hit, deal both normal weapon damage and deliver the spell.

When this spell is employed, the sorcerer can command any non-living ropelike object, including string, yarn, cord, line, rope, or even a cable. The spell affects 50 feet of normal rope (one-inch diameter), plus five feet per caster level. This length is reduced by 50% for every additional inch of thickness and increases by 50% for each 1/2 inch less.

The possible commands are Coil (form a neat, coiled stack), Coil & Knot, Loop, Loop & Knot, Tie & Knot, and the reverses of all of the above (Uncoil, etc.). One command can be given each round. The rope can only enwrap a creature or an object within one foot of it - it does not snake outward - so it must be thrown or hurled near the intended target. Note that the rope itself, and any knots tied in it, are not magical. A typical rope might be AC 6 and take 4 points of slashing damage before breaking.

The rope does not inflict damage of any type, but it can be used as a trip line or to entangle a single opponent who fails a saving throw vs. spell.

By means of this spell, the spellcaster causes creatures within the area of effect to forget the events of the previous round (the one minute of time previous to the utterance of the spell).For every three levels of experience of the spellcaster, another minute of past time is forgotten.

This does not negate charm, suggestion, geas, quest, or similar spells, but it is possible that the being who placed such magic upon the recipient could be forgotten.

From one to four creatures can be affected, at the discretion of the caster. If only one is to be affected, the recipient saves vs. spell with a -2 penalty; if two, they save with -1 penalties; if three or four are to be affected, they save normally. All saving throws are adjusted by Wisdom.

A priest's heal or restoration spell, if specially cast for this purpose, will restore the lost memories, as will a limited wish or wish, but no other means will do so.

This spell instills in the victim an uncontrollable desire to drink. The victim is allowed a saving throw to avoid the effect. If the roll is failed, the creature must consume any potable liquids it can find (including magical potions, which might result in strange effects if potions are mixed). Although poisons are not considered potable, a victim may not realize that a liquid is poisonous. The victim will not consume a liquid he knows to be poisonous.

No matter how much the creature drinks, its magical thirst is not quenched until the spell ends. During this time, the creature can do nothing but drink or look for liquids to drink. Victims of this spell believe they are dying of thirst and (depending upon their nature) may be willing to kill for drinkable fluids.

This spell causes creatures with fewer than 6 Hit Dice or levels of experience to fall into fits of trembling and shaking. The frightened creatures have a -2 reaction adjustment and may drop items held if encumbered. If cornered, they fight, but with -1 penalties to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws.

Only elves, half-elves, and priests are allowed saving throws against this spell. Note that this spell has no effect on the undead (skeletons, zombies, ghouls, and so on), or on upper or lower planar creatures of any sort.

The victim of this spell perceives everything as hilariously funny. The effect is not immediate, and the creature feels only a slight tingling on the round the spell is cast. On the round immediately following, the victim begins smiling, then giggling, chuckling, tittering, snickering, guffawing, and finally collapsing into gales of uncontrollable, hideous laughter.

Although this magical mirth lasts only a single round, the affected creature must spend the next round regaining its feet, and it loses 2 points from its Strength (or -2 to attack and damage rolls) for all remaining rounds of the spell.

The saving throw vs. spell is modified by the Intelligence of the creature. Creatures with Intelligences of 4 or less (semi-intelligent) are totally unaffected. Those with Intelligences of 5-7 (low) save with -6 penalties. Those with Intelligences of 8-12 (average to very) save with -4 penalties. Those with Intelligences of 13-14 (high) save with -2 penalties. Those with Intelligences of 15 or greater (exceptional) have unmodified saving throws.

The caster can affect one creature for every three levels attained - for example, one at 3rd level, two at 6th level, three at 9th level, etc. All affected beings must be within 30 feet of each other.
