      In terms of real world applications, prestidigitation is pretty fucking solid. It’s sort of a wizard’s “do anything” spell. Flavor food, clean something, warm up or cool something, make a small trinket, etc… And since it’s a cantrip, you can use it as often as your imagination will allow.

      Your lunch got cold? You don’t need a microwave, because in just 6 seconds of finger waggling, your food is now hot. You wish you had some salt to add to it? No need, just waggle your fingers and flavor it however you want. Forgot to do the dishes, and realize you don’t have any clean spoons to eat it with? No need, just waggle your fingers and now your dishes are all clean. Ice cream is starting to melt? Just cool it back down again.

      Alternatively, just like it can be used to clean, it can also be used to soil objects. If someone pissed you off, you could literally soil their pants.
