Hey there!

As topic says, I wanted some clarification on arcane cantrips (specifically for a magus). I start knowing all of them on my list, but can only prep 3 a day, and can prepare a 4th soon after. I'd like to prepare more a day, if possible.

I've seen lots of ideas from two world magic to orange ioun stones, but I'm confused on the wording. Do they let you know a new cantrip but not prepare it, or actually let you prepare an extra cantrip?

Alternatively, I'm open to other ideas that let a caster prepare more cantrips per day. I'd appreciate any help on this :)

Huh. No replies... is this a trickier issue than I realized? Color me surprised.

Well the only thing that I can think of that would allow you to be able to cast said cantrips and not only know them, would be multiclassing on a class with cantrips (say wizard or witch). 1lvl-dip is enough (and gives you a couple of 1st level spells that you can use for utility purposes only)

Arcanists can use Expanded Preparation (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/expanded-preparation) to hilariously buy extra cantrip slots.

You can do some weird faking with Preferred Spell (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/preferred-spell), but that's kind of overkill for cantrips. Greater Spell Specialization (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/greater-spell-specialization) is even more overkill.
