Some items that give cantrip spells 1/use day. More cool than useful, those can be nice trinkets to carry around, and very related to ig things, depending on the spells.
They exist. I know of two at least.
I know one, and it costs like 1200 gold. Noty.
Seriously, i support this, Gedd used to spend every single consumable in the new arrival's chest every now and then because it was the only way i could feel usefull during quest before i had fireball. If i were able to collect 3 of this items, wich gave in total some 5 uses of cantrips/day i'd feel much more helpfull at low levels.
If they arelady exist, drop them in low levels quests more often. 1K gold for 3 cantrips/day is NOT worth it. If anything i'd even support a rod of frost into the server, but that won't happen.
Er. The two I mean are both 1/day cantrip quest loot. And Cantrips/day are not uncommon DM loot.
Cantrips aren't that great support, and the wands for it are cheap anyway. If you don't feel useful without Fireball, you're playing your mage wrong. You can get +2 cantrip slots on a common knife, and +1 on an amulet from the same quest. If Gedd was a sorc, remember you can change spells on level, and take different ones at early levels to late.
A cantrip wand is 60 coins to make. 25x1d4 of damage that never misses. It's a good replacement.
As for the OP, there are 1/use per day things IG, they are just rare.
