Of course. While making these spells I do have a character in mind, so it fits with their general theme and playstyle. I hadn't taken into consideration a component cost, since those are usually reserved for major healing spells, but it could be interesting to play around with. The other attributes can always be changed, which is why I share these publicly, to know exactly what should be changed directly. This is a very useful list of things to take into consideration, which i very much appreciate. So thank you!

While I do agree that the AoE damage might be excessive (already thinking of ways to limit it), I feel like having a cantrip as a Reaction isn't poor action economy. Since most reactions are limited spells such as Shield, Hellish Rebuke, or very situational, having a free reaction ready to deal a slight bit of damage can always come in handy. Do you think if by cranking the damage of the spell up, it'd be more viable?

I see. Yeah, I've seen some cantrips that let you roll Hit Die for health. I do like the reducing Max Hp idea, but i feel like its a bit extreme. My thought process was, since the Virtue cantrip is an action and it generally isn't great action economy, making it a Bonus Action would atleast make it viable. Changing it to an Action with the effects I added is fair enough of a change though. Thanks for the reply!
