One million and one uses for prestidigitation..

[animewatcha]

People around here refer to this spell as a form of 'limited wish'. I am need help in creativity with this spell so hence this thread. List the situation and how you can use prestidigitation for it.

Like..

1. Dirty Dungeon that you can get lost in? Clean your way through the halls to mark where you have been.

Use it to soil a wizards spellbook, rendering it useless because they can't distinguish the markings from the soilings.

'Who pooped in mah spellbook?'

One wonders why the wizard can't cast PreshowdoIspellthislongword to clean it again?

Change the flavor of food to make it taste good. Make your kids' vegetables taste like candy! Save money on spices!

Change the flavor of food to make it taste bad. Hilarious prank!

Change the flavor of non-food to make it taste like food. Just imagine your enemy's face when you reveal that the "chocolate ice cream" he just ate was actually something else entirely! Make a Fortitude save against disease, buddy!

Clean your laundry. Detergent? Who needs detergent? That's what magic is for!

Chill or warm your drinks. Coffee got cold? Reheat it!

[Crake]

prestidigitation is basically the ultimate quality of life spell. it just lets you do so many things that would otherwise be a tedious chore in moments.

I believe WOTC posted something that stated an item can be dampened with the spell, which gives it Fire Resistance 2.

I can't be the only one who is thinking of using this on large floating objects (say, logs), then using them to make a lava-proof boat.

Remember the sustaining spoon?

Sustaining Spoon
This unremarkable eating utensil is typically fashioned from horn. If the spoon is placed in an empty container the vessel fills with a thick, pasty gruel. Although this substance has a flavor similar to that of warm, wet cardboard, it is highly nourishing and contains everything necessary to sustain any herbivorous, omnivorous, or carnivorous creature. The spoon can produce sufficient gruel each day to feed up to four humans.

Faint conjuration; CL 5th; Craft Wondrous Item, create food and water; Price 5,400 gp.

Yeah, it tastes like cardboard.

Now it tastes like a feast!

Behold the might of least wish!

Hmmm.....what if you stuck the spoon into a massive container, like a million gallon tank. Its says that it fills the container. Even though you have 1m gallons of gruel, its only enough to feed 4 humans. So each human has to each 250k gallons to fill up. No big deal.
Now let's define "container"
How about a container ship, full of gruel. Does it sink. Do crew members have to make swim checks. Does it create hindering terrain.

While cleaning it, they may accidentally "clean" one of their spells out of the book. :smalltongue: Mostly, it's just to prank the wizard though.

Turn the crossbow bolt loaded into a crossbow, (one that isn't actively being used,) into a tangle of vines thus rendering the crossbow useless.

I played in a naval campaign once. At one point, we picked up a little girl and her pet bear as passengers on our ship. She had Sorcerer levels and lots of daily uses of prestidigitation, and she used them to turn the whole ship Lisa Frank pink for hours at a time.

Let me tell you, if you ever want to undermine your credibility as a pirate, painting your ship bright pink and drawing sparkling unicorns on your flags is a good place to start.

A million and one uses, to bad 999,001 of them are actually beyond its power.
