Colour (cantrip)

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 may also modify specific character attributes, specifically hair and eye color, lips, fingernails and toenails. Alterations to the character's skin or physique aren't possible. These feature adjustments are temporary and endure for a duration of but 30 minutes per level of the caster.

The caster can also change the color of clothing and other materials, producing what appears to be professional dying or allied paint, depending on what would look most appropriate. While more than one colour may be applied to an object, the cantrip cannot produce pictures, nor will any pattern that's produced contribute meaningfully to the camouflage of the wearer.

A band of fellows may wish to employ the cantrip to provide a general colour to the whole number, as a means of building unity among the group, and ultimately its followers and retainers. Patterns may be employed, with all shields being the same colour, while tunics or flags are of another hue. Once a party develops a reputation, others may come to react with interest and respect, or suspicion and fear. The party's attire may evolve over time, as they choose to express themselves.
