Now firstly I realize that the book leaves the effects of the Cantrip spell open to interpretation. I realize this is quite useful for wizard characters/players and to GMs alike. But a little structure now and then gives us a sandbox to work in and bend those rules in the end, so heres some ideas I've been brewing
Shadow Cantrips
Ulgu is all about illusion and subterfuge and I think their Cantrips should represent this, and can do so in a couple fun ways. For one thing I think they should be able to sustain illusions to any of the senses. It makes sense in my mind to limit them to one sense per character rank, where a rank 5 Grey Wizard can easily remake his entire personage with hardly a flick of his wrist. These are some examples of minor illusions:
1) Making minor facial changes
- Eye Color
- Hair Color
- Nose Shape
- Mouth Width
- etc..
2) Changing the color of objects
- Single block color
- Maximum 10'x10' area
3) Voice Changes
- Pitch
- Volume
- Mimicking
4) Body Proportions
- Height
- Girth
5) Smell
- If you smelt it, you dealth it.
6) Taste
- the Snozzberies taste like Snozzberries!
7) Touch
- Texture, roughness v sleekness
- More Mimicking
These are some basic ideas, and where influenced by having a Grey Wizard player. I haven't thought about Aqshy and Hysh yet but I'm all ears!
