Well, that depends, if you cast it on a woman, it would require a level three-ish slot AT LEAST. :)

5. Good Clothes Dectection. The spell tells you if your clothes match well.

6. Avoid Autocapture. Because every spellcaster (heck, every player) should avoid autocaptures.

7.EXTREME OBLITERATION 23991 (Peek). This spell requires a lot of dice to be rolled and references to many other books. When the DM goes get these books, peek over the DM screen!

LordArcheron
08-02-07, 04:43 AM 15. Bald: All your hairs fall off. (May get a circumstance bonus +1 on grapple checks to escape a grabble, but only if you had enough hair before). Making it a swift-action, could be usefull when you are grappled and trying to escape.

steenan
08-02-07, 08:09 AM 17. Protection from rain: Target does not get wet when walking in rain, snow or fog. The spell does not help when one is submersed in a liquid nor protect against direct magical attacks.

18. Protection from insects: grants damage reduction 1/magic against fine creatures and swarms of fine creatures.

19. Shave/depilate: shaves clean the selected part of target's body. Unwilling targets get a will save. Hair removed with this spell does not grow back for 1 day/level. Counters and dispels Grow hair.

21. Wall of silence: Creates 9 square meters of insubstantial "wall" that is freely shapable. It is barely visible (DC 20 spot check) and does not affect matter in any way. The only effect is that it stops nonmagical sound passing through it (caster may make it one-way or both-way blocking).

21. Lector: targets a piece of non-magical, non-encoded writing in a language known to caster and reads it aloud.
Silver_Bulette
08-02-07, 10:22 AM Create Sponge: creates an average, natural sea sponge loofah 3 inches in diameter for 2 rounds/ level.

08-02-07, 01:15 PM 23. Bookmark: Cast this spell on a book before closing it, and the next time you open it it will automatically open to the page you were on.

24. Summon Pizza: Cast this spell, and the nearest restaurant that serves pizza and delivers will be informed of your hunger for a certain type of pizza. Delivery will be made immediately, but arrival time will depend on your distance from the pizzeria. Material cost: 2 silver pieces, plus 3 copper pieces per extra topping.

25. Summon Monster 0: This spell can summon any monster of CR 1/16 or lower. See "Summon Monster" for details.

AHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

26. Magic Missile for Dummies: This is a spell beginning evokers learn as part of their training. It hits its target unerringly and does 1 points of force damage.

The damage should be non-lethal and leave a tiny pink spatter of paint.

27. Flatulens: Creates a hovering circle of glass that detects who broke wind last.

28. Wax: Covers one object, up to 1' square, with a thin layer of shiny wax. Useful for fixing hair, moustaches, or making vegetables shiny.

Khadmus
08-02-07, 07:31 PM Whoa...when I heard "slug" I thought "bullet" instead of "living creature"...this is a sign of my personality.
30. Blow Nose. All phlegm is removed from the caster's nostrils. This spell has no verbal component for a nasal voice to mangle.
REM_III
08-02-07, 11:29 PM 31. Manicure/Pedicure: Your nails all look very nice.

32. Dispel Smell: Prevents you from smelling something foul. No protection from inhaled poisons on anything else.

34. Scentball: Fires a ball of sweet smelling fragrance at your enemy that smells like a beautiful summer day.

08-06-07, 05:15 PM Basically all these minor Cantrips can be covered with Prestidigitation, which can perform minor tricks, lift items, create small items flavour, color, clean, heat or warm items etc for an hour.

The only problem is that it doesn't create tools and couldn't do anything like start a fire etc. So I would suggest another Cantrip that is the same but that can creat a small tool or item (such as a lock pick, or a pen, item lasts 1 hour) or that can start a fire (equivelent to a flint rock) Sharpen a dull weapon, etc, but unlike Prestigitation the spell doesn't stay for an hour but is an instantanious effect, you summon your tool and that's it.

08-07-07, 06:10 AM couldn't do anything like start a fire

This is wrong. Creating a small fire is an established use of Prestidigitation, covered in an online WotC article and in Tome and Blood, a 3.0 supplement that had a section expanding on what other "minor effects not expressly listed in the spell" might be possible.

That said, most of these effects that people are posting aren't anywhere near worth a cantrip slot, and indeed many (Such as Whinny) can already be done by an existing, better cantrip, if not Prestidigitation.

These ones are actually fairly nice! I might consider basing Protection from Insects off of Vermin Ointment (Secrets of Xen'drik)

08-07-07, 01:06 PM This is wrong. Creating a small fire is an established use of Prestidigitation, covered in an online WotC article and in Tome and Blood, a 3.0 supplement that had a section expanding on what other "minor effects not expressly listed in the spell" might be possible.

sorry, I never knew that. However the rules specifically state that while Presigitation can create small items, that they can't be used as tools. And certainly while it could clean a sword, it wouldn't be able to sharpen a sword.

Prestigitation can be used for an entire hour to:

-Flavour and spice food and drink.
-Minor illusions
-Heat or cool a meal or drink.
-Lift small objects.
-Change an objects colour.
-Play small magic tricks akin to what street magicians can do.
-clean items and areas.
-create a pleasing scent (or a bad smell)
-create small items (crude and can't be used as tools)
-light a fire, brighten a room.
and likely a long long list of other uses. basically it's a single cantrip that allows casters to do all sorts of minor stuff. The limit is it can't create a tool or weapon and cannot harm anyone in anyway.

If you want better cantrips that do more useful things, like creates tools you can use, I suggest:

Paranomilation:
Same as Prestigitation, except you can create useful tools, or harm a person for 1 point of damage, instant effect.
Omnirahk, half-Rahkshi
08-07-07, 08:14 PM 40) Sunscreen. Protection from sunburns without preventing getting a good tan. Perhaps it can be prepared in a higher slot to protect from various sunlight vulnerabilities.
41) Instant Tan
42) Pickup Line. Instantly come up with a good opener. Aka: "How You Doing?"
43) Redo. For the little social faupauxs (sp?).
bloodtalon
08-08-07, 10:50 AM 44) summon insect:: summons one fine insect like a cockroach or a beatle
45) exterminate:: kills one fine insect like a cockroach or a beetle
46) belch:: on a fail save of dc10 the person affected lets out a very loud belch
47) smoke puff:: summons a tiny puf of smoke or smoke ring
48) minor sunds:: creates a very minor illusion of a ghostly sound, can only be heard within 10 feet of the caster (like a mioan or a dorr creaking)
