cantrips
Simple magical tricks
Cantrips are minor spells or charms, especially in Scottish folklore and fantasy gaming.
In Dungeons & Dragons and similar games, cantrips are the simplest spells a magic user can cast—requiring no spell slots and usable at will: She cast a cantrip to light the torch.
The word carries connotations of something small but handy, magical but not dramatic.
