The caster makes a rapid count of any one object within range. The caster need only state the object to be counted, and he will know exact numbers. The area of effect is a 5 ft. cube per caster level.

The caster covers an unwanted smell in the air. The caster need only imagine the scent that he would like to smell and cast the spell. This scent will be quickly dissipated by any air movement, but will remain for up to six turns in a calm area. This spell is useful for removing the smell of smoke from rooms and clothing. This spell does not create breathable air; it simply makes breathing more pleasant. The material component for this spell is a pinch of some fragrant herb.

 

Sharpen (Transmutation)

 

Level: Sor/Wiz 0

Components: V, S, F

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Touch

Duration: Permanent

Target: One blade

Saving Throw: No

Spell Resistance: No

 

This cantrip restores a new edge to a dulled blade. It removes rust and dirt, and leaves the edge razor sharp.  The blade receives a +1 to damage bonus for the next 3 times it inflicts damage.  Regular use of the blade will dull it as per any edged weapon, but mages prefer this cantrip to spending time physcially sharpening a weapon.  The focus for this spell is a whetstone.

The caster is able to publicly rebuke an offensive creature. The caster waves her hand at the target creature, and the creature is struck in the face as if by an open hand. This attack causes no damage, but results in a resounding crack which leaves the victim red faced.
