Lots of #DnD companies and players are seeking ways to add Feats to Backgrounds, but for me the more interesting space is to add Cantrips to Backgrounds.

That Farmer? They should know Druidcraft.
The Smith? Produce Flame
The Urchin? Prestidigitation

If you want a "broad magic" fantasy world give everyone a non-combat cantrip

 I know this isn't completely new. It leans into Eberron 

But broad magic doesn't have to result in noir.

We have broad tech and cyberpunk wasn't the result (or was it?).
