Cantrip may refer to- * A magical spell of any kind, or one which reads the same forwards and backwards. In the novel, "When Darkness Falls," by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory, a 'cantrip' is used to describe a short (one or two words, or one flick of a magic wand) spell or incantation that triggers a series of spells, or acts as a trigger that completes a much more complicated spell (which would ordinarily take hours or days of chanting and conjuring to complete). It acts as a magical shortcut or abbreviation. * A kind of spell in the Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game. * Spells in the Magic: The Gathering collectible card game that allow you to draw a card as part of their effect. * Spells in the MMORPG Asheron's Call whose effects can stack with spells of a similar nature.
