	'''Polish''' is a cantrip that restores the luster and smoothness of metal and wooden objects, removing chinks, scratches, grooves, tarnish and signs of wear. The affected material appears new and untouched, gleaming with a glossy sheen that reflects light in a way that suggests it has been well-maintained or never used at all. The dweomer does not strengthen or repair damaged items — it only improves their appearance. A blade marred by nicks will shine flawlessly but will still carry its weaknesses, and rotting wood may gleam like lacquered oak while remaining fragile beneath its polished exterior.

 While Polish enhances an item's appearance and sharpness, it does not repair broken or cracked objects. Structural weaknesses remain, even if the outer surface appears flawless. A brittle sword will still shatter under strain, a weakened shield will still splinter upon impact and rotted wood will crumble if pressure is applied. Though the cantrip gives the illusion of pristine condition, the object's true durability remains unchanged.
-The spell does not affect fabric, stone or other materials and its effects are purely superficial. Though valuable for ceremonies, trade, deception or temporary combat advantages, it offers no long-term protection or reinforcement against damage.

-The cantrip also removes rust or tarnishing from metal, or unnatural discolouration in wood, such as water stains; grit, oil, dust and other substances are eradicated to improve the brightness.  Brass, silver, gold and mithril in particular all reflect light to a high degree.
+A polished blade will be moderately sharper for a brief period, causing +1 [[Damage (hit points)|damage]] on the first successful hit it makes after Polish is used. This bonus applies only once before the edge dulls through contact. The experience gained from this hit accrues to the caster, even if they are not wielding the weapon themselves.
