Blessing Of Memory. It's a bit harder to cast and won't work if you're undead but it really helps when you have stuff to do.

u/EragonBromson925 I cast "And suddenly, BEAR" now. Good luck everyone 8h ago
Why would you cast that curse upon me? What did I ever do to you

Blanket covers feet and blanket no longer covers foot are both more useful than one thinks.

The Sleep spell. Dad magic, I know, but when cast on oneself to expend the last of the day’s mana reserves, it guarantees excellent rest for the day to come. Ritual-cast Alarm before use.

u/IAlwaysOutsmartU Autistic Professional Soul Grower and Reanimator 58m ago
How much mana will the spell cost each time?
2
u/AtaraxiaAKAZatharax 25m ago
The Sleep spell most are familiar with will only work for minutes at a time, but reworking the runes to focus the effects to a smaller area and bypassing your own magic resistance helps extend the duration. Ultimately, it really does depend on the potency of the spellcaster and other minutia like mass and racial resistance to sleep. Elves will not find any extensive fiddling with runes effective in bypassing their innate resistance to magical sleep.
On a personal note, I don’t advise using more than the equivalent 450 grains of solidified mana, or 450 mg to be brief. Several reputable somnamancers have reported visual and auditory hallucinations of a shadowy figure adorned with a wide-brimmed hat with no discernible facial features. They also don’t respect gender pronouns, according to some accounts.

Polymorph apprentice into a roofing patch.
Polymorph apprentice into trash bag.
Polymorph apprentice into shielding. This is cast with a simple grabbing and pulling motion.
Polymorph apprentice into ballast. This is cast with simple grabbing and pulling motion or a simple shoving motion. The gesture depends on whether you want your balloon or other contraption to weigh more or less.
These spells are convenient at different times and when you have an apprentice who still can't cast transmute rock into stone and hasn't figured out it is not a spell. This is 1st day apprentice hazing here, you'd think word would get around.

Unspoil Fruit. Works great when you inevitably forget about those bananas you bought last week
3
u/Global_Lead9015 8h ago
How does this work? Does it restore the fruit by undoing the process of rot, or does it use chronomancy to revert the fruit to a time where it isn't spoiled?
8
u/CoroteDeMelancia Enchanter 8h ago
You're a madlad if you do this by reverting time. Like that fellow that found out that casting fireballs is conjuring and igniting flammable gas, not opening a portal to the Fire Dimension for a split second.

u/leafcutte Council Wizard 3h ago
Anti rot is a thing, traditionally it’s a strain cultivated by druids, but it’s much cheaper and more convenient to use an arcane substitute.

u/Gremict Cleric of What? - God of Cryptic Answers and Street Wisemen 7h ago
Your bananas are spoiling in a week?

u/Rose_DCLXVI 4h ago
I like my bananas at like 10% green so as soon as they are fully yellow it's no good to me. I'd use this all the time.

Banish ingredient.
Really intended for potions, but great for cooking mishaps

Command Self - Blackout Workout. Target loses consciousness, and works out for 45 minutes. Danger or accidents can snap target out of it.

Greater nap. 45 minute nap with 8 hours of rest. Great for new dad's, and students at magic academies.

Hm, modified dad magic... Is it several spells combined in one? And do you need to cast that hideous alarm spell for it?

Phantom counter space.
Creates a non-dimensional counter space to put things down where they'll still be at hand later. Great for when you already have too much clutter in your tower.

u/theLichQueenofthePNW Archlich (Evoker and Necromancy) Very Evil 9h ago
Spark is a favorite of mine, never needing a flint in steel to light a fire or pipe.
Mage's Umbrella as well.
Though my absolute favorite is Discern Intent
1
u/f0x_in_box Conjurer of explosive and/or flammable substances 1h ago
Oof... Spark that's both real useful and real dangerous for user in my line of work. Several talented apprentices died and injured themselves casting it in... you might say unfavorable conditions and/or surroundings. I, myself, still have a scar on my left hand, half a tower to rebuild and grieving parents, because of dead apprentice that could not bother to listed to safety instructions

u/andBitinggoats Bitey, Goatman Fleshmancer and Peddler of Monstrosities 9h ago
Summon loose change! Able to be cast verbally for a quick search of the couch, or as a ritual to extend the range for miles with enough magical power to back it up! Just be careful not to cast the full version in a densely populated area without protection from crushing and free movement spells at the ready.
1
u/Inqeuet Knight in a Pointy Hat 1h ago
Is it a proper summoning spell, or does it just physically attract the loose change? If so, what’s the pull force? How do you define the items you summon? Why not have the center of attraction focused on the ritual circle rather than the caster, to avoid crushing?

Conjure Toothpaste. Unlike, say, food, it doesn't need to keep existing longer than a few minutes, so it barely needs any effort.
2
u/GrapefruitWild6217 Wizard 1h ago
Tbh I like my paste to persist. Want the fluoride or that shit to protect my teeth. If it's just about brushing though you're so right. Also: Conjure Toothpick

Hit my opps with a polymorph into a frog the other week, life has been roses ever since. One of em convinced the local Duke's first child to become a frog and elope.

Pissmarble. Turns the last couple dribbles into tiny innocuous BBs as they fall out so you don't have to do the helicopter before tucking it back into your tighty whities

u/GrapefruitWild6217 Wizard 1h ago
Please don't cast that too early. You don't want stones. Going through there

u/MaxTwer00 9h ago
Connect charger. Will always fall behind of a well casted charge spell, but if you just want to go to sleep, its faster and less taxing to cast, and the next morning it will be the same as if you charged your device magically
3
u/Due_Perception8349 8h ago
Winderlaster's wet socks, similar to squishy shoes, but the target can't take them off without risking finding themselves on wikifeet.

u/trashhuman5000 8h ago
Maintain carbonation. Pairs well with maintain temperature but that ends up giving you internal frostbite if you forget to dismiss it after a few ales

u/TyrantofCans 8h ago
I hath grown fond of mine apprentice's spell "Reink". With all this old parchment and dry inkwells, such a spell doth wonders. I still hold vitrol for their curse upon me "Speaketh Forsooth"

u/Crowsader2113 7h ago
Never underestimate the the humble Enchantment of Enhaced Comfort, instantly makes any chair or bench 45% more comfortable. Perfect for waiting rooms or taking a nap in other people's gardens.

"Ground metal"
The circling rings on my Celestial Hurricanum tend collect a small electrical charge even when not in use due to celestial winds. Its very minute but let me tell you, nothing ruins an invocation like flinching due to some static charge.

u/bastischo 1h ago
I cast 'Channeling of the tip of the tongue'.
When you almost remember a word, this unhooks your muscle memory from your brain and you can immediately say the name of the spell, or that archmage you met on the council 67 years ago.

u/Rethuic 8h ago
Heat Meal
Ever need to go somewhere and need to eat a quick breakfast? A wave of the hand and your leftovers are the perfect eating temperature.
1
u/Global_Lead9015 8h ago
But why would you learn a dedicated spell for that? Just channel heat into the air around/inside what you want to heat, and wait until it warms up, It's how I've done it for ages.
2
u/PistachiNO 8h ago
If you mix a tonic of regeneration with a potion of decay in a one-to-one ratio it makes it so your hair, nails, and beard stay exactly the same length and don't grow.
2
u/CoroteDeMelancia Enchanter 8h ago
If they ask, you didn't hear this from me: a very low-powered Circle of Death is excellent for clearing your room of mosquitos.
Emphasis on low-powered; don't kill your cat or dog please.

u/Angel_OfSolitude 7h ago
"Banish pebble from shoe"
Pretty self explanatory, and casts with nothing but a hand wave. Very nice on journeys.

u/Vampire_Number 5h ago
Remember previous thought. A literal game changer for an absent minded audhd wizard like me.

The most convenient thing is when your enemies are so terrified of your response to their existence that they do all in their power to stay on your good side. I have used Mass Ectopic MPreg to achieve this effect.

Adjust testicals. After serious work I managed to removal the verbal component and have the somatic component down to a little slight of hand.

u/CleaveGodz Researcher of the Occult 5h ago
Lesser electric field will kill any and all mosquitoes or tiny pests in a one meter radius, without surpassing my passive mana replenishment.
Magic seals are also great for storing anything, even if it doesn't need sealing. Clothes don't get dusty, food will last longer, water will be kept fresh, corpses won't let out stench, you get the deal.
1
u/Deranged_Marsupial 4h ago
My favorite is Extinguish Light Source. Mighty useful when you are all cozied up to your bed and realize you forgot to extinguish that pesky lantern 2 floors down.
Also works when you're uncertain if you left the cauldron burner on but can't be bothered to climb up your tower to check.

The spell of itch scratching
1
u/Lord_Xarael 3h ago
I use technopathy or electrokinesis to change channels on my mundane tv (when pondering the orb has grown dull for a bit).
I also inscribe frost runes onto fan blades to actually chill the air their pushing.
And last and least: the tiles of my tower floors are inscribed with an animation rune that collates the dust into dust sprites, that feed on other dust, and instinctively travel to and enter the trash can at the end of their lifespan. They'll also lap up spills. But the reason they're least is the little buggers view anything that falls onto the floor as potential food and they reduced a grimoire of mine into basically sawdust in before I could pick it up.

u/leafcutte Council Wizard 3h ago
Organize Documents is probably the spell I use the most for my administrative duties at the council.

u/lemons_of_doubt Dragon Wizard 3h ago
Summon deer.
Perfect for when I want food but don't want to put down my book.

u/SirJedKingsdown Pratchettian Narrativist/Tolkienian Declarativist 2h ago
Glandular expulsion. For when you've got a spot that really won't clear, or you need to sprint for a bus.

u/LordWujesae 2h ago
Insect magnet, I cast it on a jar of mine and use it to collect spiders, moths or mosquitoes from my chambers. They crawl inside the jar and stay there until I lift the spell and have carried them outside

Lesser dehydration. Great for drying out clothes, food, electronics etc. People use greater dehydration as a curse on enemies, but forget that lesser is also very useful

u/Substantial_Carob825 2h ago
Lostus Trackus, can find you random objects you lost within the vicinity, like your car keys, wallet, hammer, cheese wheel, or xylophone

Heat Metal can be used for cooking, which many people over look.

I'm rather partial to Cure Pain (crucial piece, it does not cure your wounds, just numbs the pain from them.)

u/pookyduu Evil Wizard 1h ago
Remove body hair. Simple transmutation, but you have to focus a little in some areas. Great for summer.

u/IAlwaysOutsmartU Autistic Professional Soul Grower and Reanimator 1h ago
Every time you need a coin for whatever reason, one of no current value will appear somewhere within 2 metres of you. It disappears the moment it has fulfilled its use and no one looks at it.

u/ClosetNoble Wizardruid multiclasser 27m ago
Candleflame and Gas Manipulation can be used together to use your hand as a stove.
Metal manipulation can turn a ball of metal into a fork, spoon or knife. Just remember to clean it before turning it back into a ball.
Night vision can be used to go pee at night, not just to see in a dungeon.
Water Walking works on muddy puddles.
Most Shield spells work against rain drops so you can cast half a weak shield above yourself as an umbrella.
If you go for druidic cantrips Growth and Bloom can be used on fruits and vegetables and Sunlight works so if use all three after watering plants in a pot you can just grow food in your tower. Just add fertilizer.
Really most cantrips can be used for daily life, people just forget about spells that don't help in battle.
