The following are some ideas to get you started but feel free to come up with your own using the limitations set forth by Greater Cantrip Form for creating improvised Cantrips. Ideally, if your character uses Cantrips they should help reinforce what sort of caster they are and what their tradition is.
- Bug Off: Repels irritating insects such as mosquitoes and flies.
- Stone Gut: Spicy or greasy food will not cause indigestion.
- Let It Burn: A small fire takes twice as long as normal to go out.

- Inkstone: Keeps a vial of ink from drying out for twice as long as normal.
- Mend Clothing: You permanently patch minor tears in cloth.

- Poke With a Stick: You know if a corpse you touch has been dead for a day or less.
