10 Best Utility Spells In Dungeons & Dragons

One of the most famous and widely used of all the utility spells, available to Bards, Sorcerers, Warlocks and Wizards.

This Cantrip allows the caster to produce a spectral hand that can manipulate the world around them. While the hand cannot travel more than 30-feet away from the caster and can’t carry more than 10 pounds, an ingenious player can use this Cantrip to cause all sorts of mischief.

A few things this hand can do is, manipulate objects, open unlocked doors (especially good for trapped ones). Put an item in a container or pour out the contents of a vial. This should already be giving you a lot of ideas on how to progress through that next dungeons, but with a little creativity, the mage hand can achieve so much more.

Are you a thief, well then, how about picking someone’s pocket from 30-feet away? Even if they realise it’s happening, they probably won’t know it’s you? The mage hand can only carry 10 pounds, that doesn’t mean it can’t tie a rope to something and bring the other end back to you. Technically the hand can’t attack but if your dungeon master allows it, maybe two mage hand users could shoot a bow together.

The mage hand can do most things s normal hand can do, and we know how useful they are.
