Artificer

You've studied the workings of magic and how to cast spells, channeling the magic through objects. To observers, you don't appear to be casting spells in the conventional way: you appear to produce wonders from mundane items and outlandish inventions.

• Tools Required. You produce spell effects through your tools. You must have a spellcasting focus, specifically thieves' tools or some kind of artisan's tool, in hand when you cast any spell with this feature. You must be proficient with the tools in hand. This effectively gives all spells material cost (M) for you.

• Cantrips. You know 2 cantrips of your choice from the artificer spell list.

• Preparing and Casting Spells. You may prepare a number of artificer spells equal to your INT + half your artificer level, rounded down, minimum of 1 spell. The spells must be a of a level for which you have spell slots. You may change any number of spells in your spell list during a long rest, requiring 1 minute of meditation per spell level for each spell you change.

• Ritual Casting. You may cast any artificer spell you have prepared as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.

• Spellcasting Ability. Your spellcasting ability is INT.

  • Spell Save DC. 8 + proficiency + INT

  • Spell attack modifier. proficiency + INT

You've learned how to invest a spark of magic into mundane objects. To use this ability, you must have thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical object as an action, and give it one of the following magical properties, listed below. The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you may touch the object and end the property early. You may bestow magic on multiple objects, touching one object each time you use this feature, though a single object can only bear one property at a time. You may have a number of magical objects like this at a time equal to your INT.

• The object sheds bright light in a 5ft. radius and dim light for another 5ft.

• Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10ft. away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.

• The object continuously emits your choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound, like wind, waves, chirping or the like. The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10ft. away.

• A static visual effect appears on one of the object's surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like.

You gain the ability to imbue mundane items with certain magical infusions, turning those objects into magic items.

• Infusions Known. When you gain this feature, you may choose 4 artificer infusions.

• Infusing an Item. Whenever you finish a long rest, you may touch a nonmagical object and imbue it with one of your artificer infusions, turning it into a magic item. An infusion works on only certain kinds of objects, as specified in the infusion's description. If the item requires attunement, you can attune yourself to it the instant you infuse the item. If you decide to attune to the item later, you must do so using the normal process for attunement. Your infusion remains in an item indefinitely, unless you die, after which the infusion will remain on an item for an amount of days equal to your INT. The infusion will also vanish if you replace your knowledge of the infusion. You can have up to 2 infused items from this trait. An item cannot bear more than one infusions at a time. If you try to exceed your maximum number of infusions, the oldest ends instantly. If an infusion ends on an item that contains other things, like a bag of holding, its contents harmlessly appear in and around its space.

You've learned how to produce exactly the tool you need. With thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand, you can magically create one set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5ft. of you.

Though the product of magic, the tools are nonmagical, and they vanish when you use this feature to create a different set of tools.
