On casting, the colour spray is intensified and refracted from the faces of the cube in all directions, changing the area of effect from a cone to a 360 degree circle and upwards, striking all affected blind on failing a reflex save and bathing them in a harmless colour pattern that remains on their clothing even after washing.
Be sure it’s a permanent summoning. I’m not sure what would happen when the summoning spell ends and the consumed bagel becomes unsommoned from your innards.
Honestly? All I would need would be a cleaning/repair cantrip. And wouldn’t my younger self be disgusted/horrified that my current priorities are ‘What would guarantee employment and help me keep my current stuff in good condition?’
Isn’t the spell for repairing non-magical objects first level?
And once you’re looking at first level spells I’m not sure you can beat glibness. It’s self targeting so it should work on anyone who hears you even over recordings.
“This YouTube channel is awesome and you want to share it with your friends and donate to its owner’s Patreon” *roll bluff*
And once you have a big enough audience you can try bluffing people that you’re the sort of person they want representing them in congress. The pension package is insane.
But if you’re just looking at cantrips, yes prestidigitation is awesome.
I’m now wondering what happens when you cast prismatic spray at a prism(-like object*), does it become prismatic-squared? Or prismatic-cubed? In the latter case, a devious mage could figure out a way to apply the permanency spell to allow cube to spawn prismatic offspring on demand. However, it stands to reason that prismatic cubes might behave analogous to prismatic dragons… imagine a prismatic red cube that gets shit done (TM) — definitely more terrifying than the legendary ancient red dragon, for sure.

Goblins last Tuesday? I guess it hasn’t just been a protracted siege against the bullies the whole time, then. Random combat encounters inside the town? What’s this world coming to?
I didn’t realize that she meant it that way. I thought it was more of a “this is where they’re attacking us today” than a “this is who is attacking us today”.
I remember a magic ring I once put in a 1st edition campaign. It was a pretty useful ring but had a curse on it that summoned a random wandering monster every hour. Took the party a while to figure it out =)

*Vance* might be the most perfect sound effect for a D&D wizard. I laughed.
Was used before.
Her first spell in this webcomic, even
Still perfect though.

1x Gelatinous Cube (not consumed)

On casting, the colour spray is intensified and refracted from the faces of the cube in all directions, changing the area of effect from a cone to a 360 degree circle and upwards, striking all affected blind on failing a reflex save and bathing them in a harmless colour pattern that remains on their clothing even after washing.
The spell discharging through the cube sets up a melodious vibration reminiscent of music.

Oh wow, man! The colors! Heh heh. That wasn’t just jello in that cube was it? I can hear the colors!
Not going to lie, if I was given magic powers I would totally spring for a spell that was just “Summon Bagel.”
Be sure it’s a permanent summoning. I’m not sure what would happen when the summoning spell ends and the consumed bagel becomes unsommoned from your innards.
I know exactly what happens: you suddenly have room for another bagel.
I’d be more worried about what happens when the nutrients from the bagel get unsummoned after being absorbed into your body.
Those nutrients get “unsummoned”! You have created the ideal Diet Breakfast food!
Given that bagels are mostly carbs, they tend to vanish quickly as it is– so it’d really just be mostly equivalent to a mundane bagel!
No love for turtle soup? :]
A cantrip for “summon small food item.” Then you can have some variety.

As Atarlost mentioned, prestidigitation is the Cantrip for you!

I think that’s a mage spell in World of Warcraft, but I haven’t touched that game in nearly a decade.
Presti is a master of blind-fighting, it seems.
As in, she is blind and she makes other people blind.
A prism effect. Start with an almost single multicolored beam, end with multiple beams going in multiple directions in function of their color.
OK, tomorrow in my lab I’m gonna put a gelatinous cube inside our spectrophotometer.
So after that, you could say that anyone looking into the light were now engulfed in the….dark side of the cube.
You’ve got to love Presti’s creativity.
She’s had some time to practice.
What with the blasé “goblins last Tuesday” it’s obvious this has been going on for a bit.

I’d allow it (maybe)
Does anyone else get tripped up by the cutoff text in the last panel and expect the “rest” of the page to load?

Dorilys had to tell Presti that it was bullywogs this time.
I didn’t realize that she meant it that way. I thought it was more of a “this is where they’re attacking us today” than a “this is who is attacking us today”.
Probably both.

O, free XP!
“…O free XP!
Color spray splits and branches!…”
Rhialto the Marvelous would be so proud…
My first thought was “Prismatic Cube!”… but Colour Spray makes more sense given the effect.
