Cantrip Necromancy Negative Source Core Rulebook pg. 323Cast [two-actions] somatic,
verbalRange touch;
Targets 1 living or undead creature
Saving Throw Fortitude
Siphoning negative energy into yourself, your hand radiates a pale darkness. Your touch weakens the living and disorients undead, possibly even causing them to flee. The effect depends on whether the target is living or undead.
- Living Creature The spell deals negative damage equal to 1d4 plus your spellcasting modifier. The target attempts a basic Fortitude save, but is also enfeebled 1 for 1 round on a critical failure.
- Undead Creature The target is flat-footed for 1 round on a failed Fortitude save. On a critical failure, the target is also fleeing for 1 round unless it succeeds at a Will save.
Heightened (+1) The negative damage to living creatures increases by 1d4.
Cantrip Concentrate Detection Manipulate Source Player Core pg. 323Area 30-foot emanation
You send out a pulse that registers the presence of magic. You receive no information beyond the presence or absence of magic. You can choose to ignore magic you're fully aware of, such as the magic items and ongoing spells of you and your allies.
You detect
illusion magic only if that magic's effect has a lower rank than the rank of your
detect magic spell. However, items that have an illusion aura but aren't deceptive in appearance (such as an
invisibility potion) typically are detected normally.
Heightened (3rd) You learn the rank or level of the most powerful magical effect the spell detects, as determined by the GM.
Heightened (4th) As 3rd rank, but you also pinpoint the source of the highest-rank magic. Like for an
imprecise sense, you don't learn the exact location, but can narrow down the source to within a 5-foot cube (or the nearest if larger than that).
Light [two-actions] Cantrip 1
Cantrip Concentrate Light Manipulate Source Player Core pg. 340Range 120 feet
Duration until your next daily preparations
You create an orb of light that sheds
bright light in a 20-foot radius (and
dim light for the next 20 feet) in a color you choose. If you create the light in the same space as a willing creature, you can attach the light to the creature, causing it to float near that creature as it moves. You can Sustain the spell to move the light up to 60 feet; you can attach or detach it from a creature as part of this movement.
You can Dismiss the spell. If you Cast the Spell while you already have four
light spells active, you must choose one of the existing spells to end.
Heightened (4th) The orb sheds light in a 60-foot radius (and dim light for the next 60 feet).
Cantrip Concentrate Manipulate Source Player Core pg. 351Range 10 feet;
Targets 1 object (cook, lift, or tidy only)
Duration sustained
The simplest magic does your bidding. You can perform simple magical effects for as long as you Sustain the spell. Each time you Sustain the spell, you can choose one of four options.
- Cook Cool, warm, or flavor 1 pound of nonliving material.
- Lift Slowly lift an unattended object of light Bulk or less 1 foot off the ground.
- Make Create a temporary object of negligible Bulk, made of congealed magical substance. The object looks crude and artificial and is extremely fragile—it can't be used as a tool, weapon, or locus or cost for a spell.
- Tidy Color, clean, or soil an object of light Bulk or less. You can affect an object of 1 Bulk with 10 rounds of concentration, and a larger object a 1 minute per Bulk.
Prestidigitation can't deal damage or cause adverse conditions. Any actual change to an object (beyond what is noted above) persists only as long as you Sustain the spell.
Cantrip Concentrate Detection Manipulate Source Player Core pg. 352Cast 1 minute
Range 30 feet;
Targets 1 object
You focus on the target object, opening your mind to perceive magical auras. When the casting is complete, you know whether that item is magical. You or anyone you advise about the aura gains a +2 circumstance bonus to
Identify Magic on the item. If the object is
illusory, you detect this only if the effect's rank is lower than the rank of your
read aura spell.
Heightened (3rd) You can target up to 10 objects.
Heightened (6th) You can target any number of objects.
Shield [one-action] Cantrip 1
Cantrip Concentrate Force Source Player Core pg. 356Duration until the start of your next turn
You raise a magical shield of force. This counts as using the
Raise a Shield action, giving you a +1 circumstance bonus to AC until the start of your next turn, but it doesn't require a hand to use.
While the spell is in effect, you can use the
Shield Block reaction with your magic shield. The shield has Hardness 5. You can use the spell's reaction to reduce damage from any spell or magical effect, even if it doesn't deal physical damage. After you use Shield Block, the spell ends and you can't cast it again for 10 minutes.
Heightened (+2) The shield's Hardness increases by 5.
