Once cast, the prestidigitation
spell enables the caster to perform simple magical effects for 1 hour. The effects are minor and have severe limitations. Prestidigitations can slowly lift 1 pound of material. They can color, clean, or soil items in a 1-foot cube each round. They can chill, warm, or flavor 1 pound of nonliving material. They cannot deal
damage or affect the concentration of spellcasters. Prestidigitation can create small objects, but they look crude and artificial. The materials created by a prestidigitation
spell are extremely fragile, and they cannot be used as
tools,
weapons, or
spell components. Finally, a prestidigitation
spell lacks the power to duplicate any other
spell effects. Any actual change to an object (beyond just
moving, cleaning, or soiling it) persists only 1 hour.
