First Draft: Arcane Cantrips: Move to first post when a given spell is confirmed finished

Decisions

Many first level spells can be converted to 0-Level if this component is enabled. However, many of these same spells are modified by the Revisions component. Many of these revisions may make the spell too powerful for a 0-level cantrip (or a 1st level cantrip, for that matter!) As such, in these cases, the spell will not receive all (or any) of the revisions if it is converted to a 0-Level spell, even if they are selected in that section. That said, in all of these cases, you have an option to avoid converting the spell to a 0-Level by setting a particular variable in b_spells_settings.ini (see the individual entry for each cantrip below).

//Note: Thinking about making alarm a cantrip

Acid Splash (New)

(Conjuration/Summoning)

By means of this spell, the wizard creates a glob of acid that propels at an enemy of choosing within 10'. If the creature does not save vs. breath, they receive 1d3 points of acid damage. Unless the cantrip is somehow dispelled, this cantrip will cause another 1d3 points of damage on the next round.

This cantrip lasts for an additional round, doing an additional 1d3 points of damage, at levels 6, 12, and 18.

Opponents receive a -1 penalty to their saves at levels 10 and 20.

Notes:

Alarm (New)

Internal Name: WIZARD_ALARM_SPELL

Drench (New)

(Conjuration/Summoning)

This spell brings forth a splash of water to drench a single target. If the creature is a cold or fire-dwelling creature, it takes 2d6 points of magic damage. This damage increases by 1d6 at levels 6, 12, and 18. Flame Blade, Shroud of Flame, and salamander auras are extinguished by Drench if the target fails their save vs. breath +2.

Additionally, the target becomes somewhat more vulnerable to electricity (resistance -15%) for 2 rounds.

Opponents receive a -1 penalty to their saves at levels 10 and 20.

Notes:

Drowse (New)

Notes:

Exterminate (New)

(Necromancy)

This spell instantaneously snuffs out the life forces of animals in the area of effect, including such normal pests as flies, mice, beetles, rats, spiders, and the like. Specifically, it affects the targeted animal and up to 3 animals within 20 ft. of it. Animals with 1 or fewer Hit Die are instantly slain with no save. Animals with more hit die are allowed a save vs. death. Animals that succeed the save receive 2d8 points of damage but do not (necessarily) die. Only non-humanoid animals can be affected by this spell, including large spiders, stirges, poisonous snakes, and giant or huge centipedes. If the targeted creatures are extremely small (1 hp or less), then an area up to 5 cubic can be cleansed of pests. This spell can counter the summon insects or summon swarm spells, but it is not powerful enough to counter stronger summoning spells, such as creeping death. The caster has such control that can remove insects from an animal companion without fear of killing the animal. This spell is ineffective against Familiars.

Targets receive a -1 penalty to their save at levels 10 and 20.

Notes:

Invigorate (New)

(Illusion/Phantasm)

This cantrip banishes feelings of weariness. For the duration, the subject takes no penalties no matter how much fatigue they are under. The effect, however, is merely an illusion, and is no substitute for actual rest. When the spell ends, the subject will take 1d6 points of non-lethal damage, and is fatigued until they can get a proper rest. In addition, for the rest of the day, they cannot benefit from another invigorate nor any other effect that restores fatigue.
