Hi, I'm a little bit confused by the spell Cantrip. Can a wizard blind somebody / deal damage / etc. by using this spell similarly to the Perform a Stunt action? I want to know what this means: ",which may include influencing a target or other effects."
Cheers
No. If you want to damage a target, use magic dart.
"Influence a target" is sort of a generic key word that means your skill affects their attitude or actions as appropriate to the story. So, for example, if you were applying for employment as a conjurer of theatrical effects at one of Altdorf's famed theatres, you might make a spellcraft check against the stagemaster's discipline to see if you impress him enough to get hiredthat's the sort of influence to which the card refers.

Absolutely!
This is the Perform a Stunt card for magic. All kinds of minor effects that can duplicate skills, or enhance them!
I am thinking this would be great for "juggling" little balls of fire to entertain as well as "unlatching" a door from the other side. They can be useful, like "Protection from Rain".
