"Prestidigitation specifically? Laundry is by far the most high volume use but people use it to make their drinks cold or warm depending on the weather, or make their food tastier, or make little dioramas at a lower circle than a decent illusion, or turn things different colors just to be silly... you can be pretty profligate with cantrips once you know how to catch them. Magic in general, well, I do a lot of combat with it because that's how you get stronger, but I like flying and the ones that make you smarter and also the ones that shrink stuff are fun."

"Hours - if I cast it something like nine or ten."

"One of its main applications is actually making teleportation higher leverage, because teleportation takes a certain number of creatures and what they can carry."
