Not the richest fastest but probably nice and discreet: electronics repair shop using mending.

Mending is so good, and as a Cantrip you don't even need to be a practiced caster.

You can't mend to fix magic smoke problems. Though it would be awesome to run your finger along a cracked screen to repair it

[–] ericbomb@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

5 minute $10 screen repairs?

Would have lines around the block.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 year ago

I think you would be able to

You can fix constructs and magical items with it, you can't put magic back into it though

RAW it's a pretty great spell to have IRL

Mend can't fix magic.

This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but the spell can’t restore magic to such an object.

Magic smoke is magic smoke.

Something something simple repairs... DM said no

They’re making a joke, riffing off the “you let the magic smoke out” joke used in hardware repair. The “magic smoke” is when the chip fries and needs to be replaced, and mending can only physically repair magic items.

Why stop at electronics. I would think just going to a scrapyard and repairing machinery or vehicles back to working condition would be massive.

Take 20$ in scrap and turn into hundreds of dollars by repairing.

It's got a volume restriction iirc. Like 3ft cube

[–] Igloojoe@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Can you just do it in segments then?

I never took that cantrip, so not familiar.

Mending was my first thought, admittedly because of Harry Potter And The Natural Twenty. D&D munchkin gets mis-summoned into Hogwarts, and spends a few hours every evening doing all the stuff the rules as written say his character can fit into an evening. He's still incapable of any magic the school teaches, but now he's got a bag of tricks a mile deep, and his robes look fucking incredible.
