Summary
EveryD&Dplayer has at one point flicked through the spells section of theirPlayer’s Handbookand thought to themselves, “I wish I had this spell in real life,” as there are some that could just make every single day that little bit easier or more pleasant.
While not all spells are appropriate for mundane, modern life (such as Fireball, for example), there are some utility, buffing, or even healing spells that definitely could have a place in ordinary life. Whether it is just for convenience or specific circumstances that people could very likely find themselves in, these would be themost usefulD&Dspells to know in the real world.
A Cantrip With a Variety of Uses
Prestidigitation is one of thosecantrips mostD&Dplayers take, despite it not really having much use in an actual game outside of flavor or RP. But in real-life, this could be a very handy spell to have at hand.
With so many uses, and for a spell that is free to cast, people could heat up their coffee that has gone cold, chill their soda back down, clean up the messiest part of their desk or even themselves with a flick of their wrist. While it’s not a spell that would change lives to a dramatic degree, it could make everyday tasks that much easier, saving people time and energy.
8Mending
Fix Small Breaks in Beloved Objects
Everyone knows the anguish of a beloved object breaking, such as a statue, piece of jewelry, or even a beloved piece of clothing. Even if these things can be repaired using mundane methods, most of the time, there is evidence blatantly on display of such items being repaired, such as super-glue lines and wonky stitching lines. Also, this would take time and patience.
This is why mending would be such a handyD&Dspell to have access to in the real world, as users could instantly restore their beloved objects without even leaving any evidence behind that suggests it was once broken.
7Create Food and Water
Never Go Hungry or Thirsty Again
Being able to just summon up food and water would be a life-changing ability for most people, as it would cut down on expensive grocery bills. It would even be suitable for people going camping, as they would never have toworry about running out of rationswhile staying out in the great wilds.
Though the food is rather plain in terms of taste, it’s still such a handy ability to be able to fill one’s own belly as well as the people around with a simple spell, and clean drinking water is something a lot of people take for granted far too much.
6Teleport
Save Time and Money by Forgoing Classic Transport
The commute to work or school, or just visiting friends and family, can be such a drag. Dealing with traffic or relying on public transport runs the risk of arriving late and often enhances the general headache that can come with traveling. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the means to completely bypass all of that by just immediately arriving at a destination with just a word?
This is exactly what the teleportation spell does, as it allows casters to take themselves, or even an object or other people, with them to a destination they choose. The more familiar they are with it, the more chances they have of arriving exactly where they intend, which would make it ideal for daily commutes. By completely cutting out the traveling aspect of one’s day, users of this spell would have a lot more time to pursue their own passions, too.
5Control Weather
Never Get Caught in the Rain Again
It is always a pain getting caught out in the rain while out shopping with friends, on the way to or from somewhere, or even just wanting to go on a walk to get the daily steps in. Even worse is getting up excited about plans and drawing back the curtain to see a downpour.
Well, with the control weather spell, one would never have to worry about getting caught in the rain again, as they could simply change it to be sunny or overcast. Also, if it is simply too hot, the caster could conjure up a breeze to cool things down, ensuring that they always havethe perfect weather conditions according to their plans.
4Cure Wounds
Skip the Hospital Visit With DIY Healing
Cure wounds is one of those spells everyD&Dadventuring party makes sure they have on hand, as it is one ofthe most reliable healing spellsto keep the party in fighting shape. While the wording does lead into the question of how this would translate into real-world usage, the name of the spell itself does make it seem like injuries or wounds could be healed, at least partially.
As such, users of this spell could potentially seal deep cuts incurred when cutting vegetables, tend to a nasty sprain from slipping down the stairs, or maybe even mend a broken bone. At the very least, small burns and scrapes could be cleared away, meaning that those with access to this spell wouldn’t even have to worry about getting professional medical assistance for minor injuries. Major ones might still require checking or, at the very least, a higher level casting of this spell.
Be the Ultimate Dinner Party Host
Dinner parties are fun but stressful gatherings, as the host needs toserve up a sumptuous mealfor their guests, which can be a daunting task that could take the entire day to prep. Or they could simply cast heroes feast, which would only take a total of 10 minutes to conjure.
In return, they and up to 12 guests get to sample a delicious feast that offers a variety of food items and drink that also grants some pretty incredible health benefits. With just one simple spell, the user of this spell could become the ultimate dinner host and get the chance to impress their family and friends while saving precious time byskipping prep and cooking.
2Magnificent Mansion
Dial Glamping Up to 11
Owning a mansion is a far-flung dream for most people, but it is something everyone has fantasized about at one point or another. So, imagine having access to a spell that could let users live that dream for up to a full day and night for every time they cast it. On top of that, the mansion would look exactly how they want it to.
This spell would be Magnificent Mansion, which allows the caster to summon up a magical mansion for them and their friends to enjoy the splendor of, coming with any rooms and decor they wish. Though it might not be suitable for replacing the user’s home, as they would have to cast it again everyday, and the spell isn’t free, it could definitely be used for house parties with friends or even glamping.
1Locate Object
Never Lose Anything Again
Everyone knows the struggle of tearing through one’s house in a blind panic searching for their car keys, or that dreaded feeling of patting the pocket they are sure they placed their wallet or phone in, only to feel an empty space there.
That’s why Locate Object would be such a clutch spell to have in everyday life, as users could simply state what object they are searching for, even if it is in motion, and so long as it is within 1000 feet, they would be able to sense its location. Then, they could go fetch whatever it is they lost. Having access to thisD&Dspell in the real world would save so much time and worry.
