Half Wizards

Some subclasses of other classes allow access to the Wizard's spell list, and as such, here is a list for what kinds of cantrips these subclasses gain access to.

Arcane Trickster

Trickster's Wit

If you are an Arcane Trickster Rogue, you may choose to take 1 of any of these cantrips in place of a regular cantrip if you so choose. However, you cannot take more than 1 of these cantrips.

Eldritch Knight

The Knight's Tome

For these spells, as an Eldritch Knight, you can take 1 cantrip only as if you were one of these subclasses: Abjuration, Bladesinger, Evocation, Transmutation, and War Magic. You cannot take multiple cantrips from this list.

Final Reminder

Remember that, as the DM, you can always waver these rulings to allow any class or subclass to choose these spells as one of their cantrips, and if you believe it to be balanced and fitting, then it is encouraged. These spells are just designed to give each subclass even more uniqueness with optional cantrips for each one. With this being said, here is a list of what I believe would be appropriate classes that could get each spell, should you want them to be treated as non-exclusives to wizards entirely:

Spells	Classes
Abjurist's Bubble	Bards, Clerics, Sorcerers, Wizards, Artificers,
The Blade's Lick	Bards, Clerics, Druids, Warlocks, Wizards, Artificers
Minor Step	Sorcerers, Warlocks, Wizards
Nudge Fate	Bards, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Wizards
Minor Inspiration	Bards, Warlocks, Wizards
Illusory Mindfreak	Bards, Sorcerers, Wizards
Necromania	Cleric, Wizard
Flying Quill	Bards, Sorcerer, Warlocks, Wizards, Artificers
Psychic Craniotomy	Clerics, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Wizards, Artificers
Tactical Impelled Trauma	Bards, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Wizards

And of course most importantly, have fun!
