Cantraips

We call small expressions of magical energy by the name of cantraips. These are tiny effects that are often subconscience uses of internal magical energy. People develop these as they practise their daily lives and often don’t think too closely about them.
A tailor might develop an ability to cut a thread without needing a sharp edge, or a blacksmith creates a spark that lights his forge in the morning.
When these effects are inquired about the person performing them will often be confused and unable to express how they do them.
