Notes

- The Arcane Trickster version also has an extended duration of until the next long rest.
- This is the only cantrip with a limitation on how often it can be cast (once per short rest). This is somewhat in contradiction with the basic concept of cantrips.
- Mage Hand has two incantations: Veniam Iuva Me, Latin for "come help me", and Voco, Latin for "I call/summon".
- If the Hand throws a weapon marked as a Homing Weapon, the weapon will be instantly equipped to the caster of the Hand upon return, unequipping previous equipment.
