I have a question regarding the use of a net and using two cantrips.
1. Is a 'burst' net 'broken'. Is it reduced to 0 hp, half, some other quantity. Basically, I'm assuming a burst net is repairable with mending, but just want to be sure and determine # of castings necessary to repair the net.
2. Can prestidigitation fold a net? If so, would it take same time as proficient user (2 rounds) or could it be done in 1 round?
Clever.
The Additional Rules may be a little unclear, but I reckon that a burst item is destroyed. Rather than dealing damage to the object to destroy it, you're attempting to destroy it in one action.
I would also reckon that if the parts of a destroyed net are to be repaired in this way, they would have to be brought together. In any case, a destroyed net hanging off a person would likely be considered an attended object, and they would get a saving throw to resist.
A net is a 6-lb item, and you'd have to be 6th level to affect it with mending. Given that prestidigitation can only slowly lift 1 pound of nonliving material, it seems like it would be very difficult to use it in combat to re-fold a net.

Wasn't even thinking of trying to mend it while they were breaking it. Although that would be neat, I agree that it doesn't seem like you could do that given the single action nature of "breaking". I was more looking to not have to replace the net after each combat and instead, mend it. Which, assuming high enough level of mending, seems doable.

Yeah, that was my thinking, but I was hoping I was wrong because it would be cooler to have it fold itself.
