Colour (cantrip) c.jpg

Colour is a cantrip that allows for the adjustment or enhancement of an object's hue, which can be adjusted as often as the caster wishes. Metallic items can be changed in colour, but close inspection by an assayer certainly reveals the metal's true nature. Persons in the game world are aware of the cantrip and are naturally distrustful of any sizable item made of either gold or silver.

The cantrip's also able to adjust certain character features, specifically hair and eye colour, lips, fingernails and toenails ... but otherwise the character's skin or body cannot be adjusted. Adjustments to features are not permanent, but will only last 30 minutes per the caster's level.

Clothes and other materials that are coloured by means of the spell will look as though they've been properly dyed or painted, whichever seems most natural. More than one colour cannot be created; the object must be of a single hue ... though accessories added to the object may be differently coloured before being attached, so that with some effort truly interesting works can be developed.
