Arcane Dabbler

Broad Repertoire: At each level, the Arcane Dabbler gains another cantrip or orison known from any spell list. Treat the newly gained spell as an arcane cantrip of his spell list. If he has casting from multiple classes, he must choose which list each cantrip is added to.
Additional Tricks: The Arcane Dabbler now gains bonus cantrip slots/day equal to his first level bonus slots/day + his Arcane Dabbler level.
Cantrip Proficiency: The Arcane Dabbler now adds his Arcane Dabbler level to the save DC for his cantrips.
Additional Effect: Whenever the Arcane Dabbler casts a cantrip, all numerical effects are increased by 2.
Tireless Performer: The Arcane Dabbler gains Prestidigitation as an at will SLA.
Knowledgeable Performer: All cantrips benefit from the effects of Signature Spell, even if the Arcane Dabbler does not possess the feat. In addition, the Arcane Dabbler gains Eschew Materials as a bonus feat.
Cantrip Mastery: Whenever casting a spell of first level or higher, the Arcane Dabbler may also choose to simultaneously cast a cantrip he could otherwise cast, without expending additional actions or spell slots.
Design notes: The image of the arcanist who can impress and amaze with minor tricks, or who can add little touches of customization to his spells is an extremely common one in fantasy, yet cantrips are surprisingly limited, lacking even bonus spells/day. This is meant to be a short, fun class, that offers more in flavor than in power(though any full casting class isn't a great loss).
