Quick question/clarification here, but on wizard it says we start with 10 cantrips. I can't seem to find any notice of limitation/number of cantrips anywhere. How many do you have each day? Does a wizard always have 10?
However:
Adapted Spell
Study of multiple magical traditions reveals how to alter a
spell to suit your spellcasting style. Choose one cantrip from a
spell list other than your own. If you have a spell repertoire or
spellbook, replace one of the cantrips you know or have in your
spellbook with the chosen spell. If you prepare spells without a
spellbook (if you’re a cleric or druid, for example), one of your
cantrips must always be the chosen spell, and you prepare the
rest normally.
If you swap or retrain this cantrip later, you can choose its
replacement from the same alternate list or a different one. For
more about magic and spells, see page 192
What gets me is this line: "If you prepare spells without a spellbook (if you’re a cleric or druid, for example), one of your cantrips must always be the chosen spell, and you prepare the rest normally."
So are cantrips prepared? How many? I'm trying to look for it in the book but I'm coming up blank.

Looking at clerics as a prepared caster example they list this: At 1st level, you can prepare two 1st-level spells and four
cantrips each morning from the common spells on the divine spell list in this book
(see page 200) or from other divine spells to which you gain access.
If you look at their spells per day list cantrips are not listed so it looks like for a cleric they can prepare 4 per day. If you get another cantrip or cantrips from other sources you have to choose which four cantrips you want each day but would have to always have the chosen one from the feat as one of our four.

It looks like for people like druids and clerics they are prepared. If you look at the wording for cantrips in spell Repertoire for sorcerors it lists such that basically they can cast any cantrip in their list of known spells.
I think it looks weird for clerics and druids mainly because they basically pray for their spells and so have their whole spell list to chose from so they have to specify which ones they want access to.

Thanks for posting this... it took me forever to find the information in the Druid section, so I finally read more carefully and found it. It would be nice if they added the number of cantrips each class is allowed IN the paragraph on cantrips, especially since it's just the same copied and pasted in each relevant character class anyway. I know that's so everyone doesn't have to flip their books back and forth to the magic section, but if you look at the big heading that says "Cantrips," you'd expect to find out how many your class gets in addition to how they work there.
