RP (Non-Mechanic) Spells

[Micteu]

If a spell hak is made for SFS, could we maybe get some of the spells from the PHB that have no effect on the game, but are good for RP?

I'm thinking of things like Prestidigitation, Arcane Mark, Obscure Object, etc.

I might be able to do them as emotes that only fire an effect for certain classes/levels. Though I'm in no rush to tackle the voice/emote scripts again for awhile.

I dont know what the feel of things like this here are for these spells but if they are RP only and things that a PnP version of the Char would be able to do then I just burn of a spell of the same level (normaly a light spell) and describe the effect.

Example, The party have just crossed/fought in a river so are wet and muddy

Sorceror *looks down at the goo covering his robes and Tuts*
-Casts a light spell on something not obvious, an unequiped weapon or something-
Sorceror *the magic of the prestigitation spell causes the goo and wetness of the river to slide from his robes to pool at his feet, which he then neatly steps away from so as not to get his shoes dirty*
Dwarf Warrior *moves to stand next to the now clean sorceror and shakes himself like a dog would to attempt to cover him in goo again*

Obviously it requires the player(s) to have knowledge of the 'non effect' spells they could use and at no point should any 'non-rp' advantage be taken from it

The problem I see is that then you can say, "Oh, I memorized that spell today," or "Oh, I know that spell," even if you didn't/don't. Ah, well. It's really not that important, I guess.

RP only "spells" can be added here as custom emotes (we've a few already). Please post specific suggestions as you continue to think of them.
