Spell help

There is no cantrip spell in HERO. (ie no spell for doing a variety of semi-useless crap)

How could we simulate it? Suggestions?

How do you suggest a VPP would work in conjunction to the set of magic rules I have already set up? I don't want to allow stand alone powers (see previous discussions) but I'm not sure how a VPP as part of a MPP would work if it would work at all.

On the otherhand... having a set cantrip group for each path would overcome some of the "magic costs too much to have a mixed-type character" complaints that I have been getting from you folk.

It could be a slot or a bundled standalone. If it's a slot, the slot AP cost would have to cover the VPP size (5 AP), and the VPP control cost would either add to that AP total or be a separate (i.e. standalone) cost.

Slots in a VPP in a MPP... oy vey... might work... I'll look into it. If I do it this way it might be the only spell I allow to be created in this manner.

Can I put my MPP points into my VPP and use that to create a sub-MPP?
