I’m not sure if I understand how this cantrip works. I really want to use it for silly things, like having my fun-sized -1 strength rogue smack a table indignantly, sending sparks flying everywhere and leaving a black mark on the wood, or sneaking up to a guard and soiling their pants, but that doesn’t really work, does it? My DM said that spellcasting breaks stealth, and that typically people can tell that I am casting something if I am casting something, so what would I even use this for, if I basically can’t use it to actually trick people? It wouldn’t even be possible to cheat at card games, since anyone could tell that I just did some magic. Am I missing something here?

    Use it in a crowd, It has a 10ft range, and I don’t expect most people to know you are spell casting unless they are paying attention directly to you or are trained in magic in that situation. You are just energetic with hand movements whilst talking and the guard wet himself.
