Toymaker [Item Creation]

You are adept at creating minor wondrous items
Prerequisite: Int 13+, Ability to cast prestidigitation
Benefit: You may imbue a nonmagical item weighing no more than 1 pound with a prestidigitation effect. This takes 20 minutes and costs 20 XP in addition to the gold piece cost of the item. The base item need not be of masterwork quality: a plain mundane tool, toy or accessory would suffice. Items made with this feat are not capable of inflicting damage and cannot grant bonuses of any type. No magical backlash occurs if one of these items are broken. On high-magic worlds these minor items might be ubiquitous, being used as toys or useful household articles. Items created by this feat are scarcer on low-magic worlds. The market price of a minor wondrous item is left to the DMs discretion, but will typically be between 10 and 100 gp, or ten times the cost of the base item.
Special: Wizards may select this feat instead of Scribe Scroll at 1st level.

Sample Items

Here are some examples of common items:

Apprentice's candle: The flame of this small candle burns perfectly, unaffected by air movement or wind and can only be moved or snuffed out by magic or a specific command word. The candle flame can not only be moved around by applying magic, but the color of the flame changes in relation to the school of magic used to do so making the candle a perfect tool to train young magic user's in the basic control needed to use cantrips.

Box of Tin Soldiers (Defender): These small tin soldiers stand about four inches tall and are painted with a red coat. They come in boxes of five soldiers. On command, they can be set to patrol an area up to 1 foot square (such as the perimeter of a toy fort). If one is knocked over, it will cease to function until commanded again. Whenever a blue-coated Tin Soldier is within 1 foot of their patrolled area, they will fire small lead pellets at it to knock it over.

Diadem Light: This simple wooden crown emits light equivalent to that created by prestidigitation, with an illumination range of ten feet.
