Ultimate Cantrips

Very Cool. Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks for listening to us and posting this! :)

Woot ! Thanks Jason !

Awesome! Thanks for putting this up! I assume that its free for the peoples to throw up on d20pfsrd.com right? There is no mention of how this content is licensed, but I also am not that familiar with the general Paizo licencing.

Thanks!

Thanks! Can we hope for magus favored class bonuses, too?

Thanks for getting these out. Now to switch my Ray of Frost for jolt for my Air Elemental (with DM approval of course).

Wonderfull, they had the stones to just say no to the wizard, and every other arcane caster.

IIRC that was their reason for not publishing masses of level 0 spells, so the sorcerers and all the other classes with spells known, would not feel left out.

Awesome^^

Just dotting this for future reference.

Awww, I had Jolt pegged as an evocation spell.

It absolutely should be.

We all know that Breeze is the best of the bunch. Now you can always have windswept epic hair for any intense emotional scene or daring heroics.

These would have been a lot of fun. Too bad they didn't make the book.

Very cool. Thank you, sir!

Very nice. Thank you.

Breeze and Drench are the ones which inspire me the most.

Sweet! Thank you for posting these!

Will we be seeing a blog about the non-cantrip spells that got lost in the book too? I'm still pretty curious about what choose fate does, so I hope they don't just get errata'd out.

Eleric made a list over on the errata thread:

Some of them obviously just got renamed (reinforcing bands = cushioning bands, hush = forced quiet), but that still leaves several pretty cool sounding spells.

Pretty powerful 0-level spells, IMO. Drench for example. Auto putting out fires of large size of smaller? (or rather one could arugue one way or another -- looking back at it it can be interpreted different ways).

In any case, thanks for sharing....

Very nice :)

Thank you!

Does this mean we can expect a Bonus Ultimate Magic like the Bonus Bestiary PDF with 0-level spells, prestige classes & magical items?

Oh please!!!
Oh please!!!
Oh please!!!

Now how about some orisons for those of us who like divine magic? These are great, so I hope there are a few more 0 level spells left unmentioned :)

Anyone else see a Penumbra and Hide in Plain Sight combo action?

Anyone else see a Penumbra and Hide in Plain Sight combo action?

I'd say not, since the spell is evocation, so it isn't really "there". At least in the sense that a conjuration spell would be. But that's getting into all sorts of philosophical debates about what "evocation" really means, so...

For me, it's more for the conditional modifiers.

Things like breezes that make your hair and coat wave isn't even a cantrip in my book. It's a by-product of magic. The higher your caster level, the more you can modify yourself in little (or not so little) ways: Hair that waves in the breeze, perfect skin, ringing voices, weird eyes, the works.

Evocation is really there. Illusion is the pretend stuff. Evocation is completely magical and involves energy. Usually in a short sharp burst, but it can have sustained effects.

Light is an evocation spell and it really makes you able to see things.

scoop can be rather powerful with a handy near by lava supply...

5 lbs of lava would give someone a really bad day.

Scoop is making me think of Fantasia.

I'm surprised it's only sorcerer/wizard. Several of these make thematic sense for both druids (drench, breeze, jolt) and witches (drench, penumbra).

Penumbra and breeze sound really fun. Jolt feels a little standard, but whatever. Happy to see that these made the blog cut.

A bonus Ultimate Magic book would, indeed, be awesome. I'd love to see the spells like "Hungry are the Dead" and "Comet" utilized.

-The Beast

Breeze sounds really fun.

My arcane casters would always be walking around with their cape fluttering, even though there is no wind.

Any chance we might see these cantrips smushed into a future release? Like ... maybe ... Ultimate Combat?!

*dodges tomatoes and covers ears against an onslaught of boos and hisses*

What? I'm sure there are going to be SOME spells in Ultimate Combat!

Thank you.

Continuous use breeze effect: 1,000 gp (spell level 1/2 x caster level 1st x 2,000 gp).

Create as a magical clasp that makes any cloak you wear constantly billow.

But...But...there's no mechanical effect! POOR DESIGN!! [/sarcasm]

Awesome, awesome. I love the Paizo blogs for these little extra things, and I'm glad you let us see them. Great incentives for low level campaigns too.

So, am I the only one who when I read breeze thought of it blowing up, you know, as cast by the pervert wizard targeting the buxom barmaid? :) For that matter, drench could be used similarly, impromptu wet shirt contest... So many character ideas out of this one book, I think my brain might explode!

No really. Can we can get a Bonus Ultimate Magic like the Bonus Bestiary PDF with 0-level spells, prestige classes & magical items?

Or just the 0-level spells, divine spells too and magical items?

Or just all of the 0 level cantrips & orisons?

Oh please!!!

More seriously, that item would also give you a +2 on saves versus heat, severe heat, breath weapons, cloud vapors, and gases. If you're off to fight a dragon, the +2 bonus on saves against breath weapons is reason enough to acquire a clasp of billowing.

All of these are now available on d20pfsrd.com.

They are also added to/merged with the sorcerer/wizard cantrips list.

As with all unofficial content, you should confirm with your GM to see if they are allowed in his/her campaign. Personally I like many of these a great deal and think they add a good amount of flavor.

The somatic component of Jolt should be shuffling your feet across a carpeted room.

So now the question becomes, with Ultimate Combat looming about 8 or 9 weeks away - how many of those weeks can be Ultimate Combat previews? ^_^

They should be kept separate from the core list. They're not meant to be awarded as the catchall grab bag at first level but found as treasure.

Thanks a bunch for posting these! I understood why they got cut, but I was still sad to see them go.

For folks incorporating them into your home game: the assignment was for sorcerer/wizards in this case, so that's why the lack of other classes. Several of them definitely do work for other classes. Go ahead and get creative ;)

The page where they are located clearly has the text indicating these are not official material, as does the table, via the "Blog" indicator in the "Source" column.

Breeze reminds me of the kind of cantrip that my players love to create for their characters. (Constant air conditioning? Yes!) My favorite cantrip we developed is filth ward - literally just keeps your clothes from ever being soiled (developed by a rather snotty noble... whose character was first introduced gleaming spotless as he waded through the sewers.)

+2 discressiorny GM bonus for looking badass. :P

A hair pin or thin head band to have comstnalty flowing hair would also be permissible.

Annotated to my PDF copy, I'm going to get spoiled by technology.

Actually, that's not a bad idea. The Bonus Bestiary is one my favorite little things that Paizo has done. A Bonus Ultimate Magic would be great!

Regardless, thanks for posting the cantrips! We really wanted these! :)

Awww, I had Jolt pegged as an evocation spell.

That's got to be a mistake...

I mean, common... transmutation?

it seams a little odd how these are only wiz/sorc spells, particularly ones like jolt which seams to be a dead wringer for a magus spell. Was also hoping for a melee touch cantrip.
