Description
Prestidigitations are minor tricks that novice spellcasters use for practice. Once cast, a prestidigitation spell enables you to perform simple magical effects for 1 hour. The effects are minor and have severe limitations. A prestidigitation can:
- slowly lift 1 pound of material.
- color, clean, or soil items in a 1-foot cube each round
- chill, warm, or flavor 1 pound of nonliving material.
- create small objects, but they look crude and artificial.
It cannot deal damage or affect the concentration of spellcasters. The materials created by a prestidigitation spell are extremely fragile, and they cannot be used as tools, weapons, or spell components. Finally, prestidigitation lacks the power to duplicate any other spell effects. Any actual change to an object (beyond just moving, cleaning, or soiling it) persists only 1 hour.
