You magically alter the hair of a creature within range using one of the following effects:
- You instantaneously cut the creature's hair to whatever pattern and lengths you choose.
- You instantaneously change the shape and style of the creature's hair.
- You instantaneously clean or soil the creature's hair.
- You color, scent, soften, or stiffen the creature's hair for 24 hours.
- You cause the creature's hair to grow up to 2 feet. This extra hair disappears after 24 hours or if it is removed from the creature.
If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action. If you target an unwilling creature, that creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw to avoid the spell.

Posted Mar 27, 2020Why is the cutting instantaneous and permanent, but the growth is temporary? What if you cut three feet off your hair and then change your mind and want it all back?

Posted Mar 27, 2020Good question! When I wrote it a few years ago, I must have thought that being able to grow infinite hair seemed a bit ridiculous. That's a lot of wigs, rope, and firestarter!
This is just a joke cantrip, though, and making the dwarf's beard a rope to climb down Rapunzel-style could be quite fun, so if your DM is cool with it, go for it!

Posted Feb 27, 2021I think this is a really fun, creative cantrip! I would, however, adjust the duration to be no more than 1 hour since it's a cantrip especially since Thaumaturgy only has a duration of 1 minute. You could then adjust the flavor of the cantrip to state that there isn't a lapse in the effect if it is cast again before the effect expires (then, for example, the hair growth wouldn't revert and could continue from the existing length based on the previous casting).
