Artificer
T
he stone portal ahead slid closed, cutting off
the sliver of light that marked the only visible
means of escape. For the exhausted heroes,
their resources almost completely depleted, it
seemed that this was finally the end of the
journey. Luckily, Thondred thought, an artificer
always has a contingency plan. The dwarf
pulled a wand from a holder on his hip and unleashed the
magic that he had caged within it. —Keith Baker, Eberron
Campaign Setting
A gnome grins ruefully as she hastily assembles a
contraption on the floor of a besieged cabin. As her
teammates hold the door shut against the mass of zombies
trying to break it down, the gnome picks up her invention, a
wand-like mishmash of parts with a glowing ember at one
end. It isn’t pretty, but it might just save their lives.
Glancing at his archaeology notebook, a rugged dwarf in
stained adventurer’s gear arranges the runes on an ancient
vault door with great care, having used a trick of magical
wiring to disable the arcane trap in the ceiling above him. He
found the bones of many tomb robbers, and has no intention
of joining them.
As his squad stops to prepare their weapons and storm the
hobgoblin bunker, a moderately armored human pulls out a
number of small gadgets with arcane sigils and attaches
them to the weapons of his fellow soldiers. Within moments,
their blades and arrows are crackling with elemental energy.
He nods to their sergeant and they kick in the door.
When one considers their specialization, it comes as no
surprise that, in many ways, artificers keep magical societies
running. Their expertise with manipulating the flow of magic
through items – from small magical toys to massive engines
of war – places them on the leading edge of technological
progress.
Ultimate Magical Dabblers
In Eberron, magic is almost technology. Magic, and reliance
upon magic, shapes and defines the societies of Eberron. For
thousands of years, wizards, sorcerers, clerics, artificers,
adepts, and magewrights have used their magical talents to
solve the problems life poses. Spellcasters specialize in
certain forms of that technoarcanology, while artificers tinker
with its fundamental workings. Artificers understand magic
on a different level from spellcasters, and do not cast spells
as wizards and clerics do, yet have an amazing facility with
magic items and constructs.
Magic doesn’t only reside in humanoids, nature, and the
gods, but also in objects. Magical wands, powerful scrolls,
potent potions, and commanding staffs are the most common
examples of magic, wrapped up in otherwise mundane items.
The artificer sees this magic only as the most obvious form
of their specialty. They study the crafting of everyday items as
something magical, and infuse parts of themselves into those
crafted objects to create magical objects.

Where a wizard or cleric will cause an effect in the open,
an artificer temporarily brings out an items capability. For an
artificer, a tunic is a suit of armor, a cloak is a sturdy shield,
and gloves provide the strength of an ogre.
Artificers learn to recognize the patterns of magic in
crafted goods and even raw materials, and to use their own
magic to pull it out of them in fantastic ways. The greatest
artificers are known to create magical items with amazing
effects and to master various rituals. To an artificer, there is
no difference between the magic of a druid, wizard, cleric, or
any other caster. They see magic as something purer than its
petty divisions.
Magical Experimentation
In magically advanced lands there are those magewrights
who have an understanding of magic rituals and can
occasionally bring forth the magic of objects, but they are
limited to their specialties.
A true artificer masters all specialties and forms of artifice
through experimenting and constant inquiry. Constantly
inventing and questioning, an artificer's latest infusion or
creation is not his best; there is always a grander discovery to
be made. Experimentation is key to the success of an artificer.
Without their constant attempts to master the magical
secrets of the universe and discover the underpinnings of
how magic works, an artificer would be nothing.
To an artificer, even more than to the other arcane classes,
magic is life. They understand that without magic there
would be no existence. Most artificers dedicate their lives to
understanding the way magic weaves itself into the universe.
Artificers are perhaps the ultimate magical dabblers. They
can use just about any spell from a wand or scroll, empower
ordinary items with temporary magical power, repair
damaged constructs, and craft magic items, constructs, and
dragonshard items. They have a limited list of their own spell-
like infusions that they can apply to objects, and they can also
work with any of the spells on other classes’ spell lists. Their
magic is neither arcane nor divine, and they are not bound by
that classification: Their trade is magic in its most abstract
(they might say purest) form.
Creating an Artificer
An artificer is a magical engineer. They are deeply interested
in how magic works. What drives your artificer to study and
experiment? Is it to better the world? For the sake of
knowledge alone? Is it for financial gain, or is it to solve a
specific problem, like stopping death, or making tools to help
the disabled? Think about whether your artificer is more
focused on magical trinkets or instruments of war. Maybe
they are most interested in ancient monoliths radiating
mystical energies.

leather armor
Multiclassing
Artificer Requires: Intelligence 13
Proficiencies Gained: Light armor, one skill of your
choice, and one set of artisan’s tools or theives tools
Infusion Casting
Drawing on your knowledge and study of magic, you can use
infusions to enchant items and replicate spell effects. See
chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting
and the sheet on artificer infusions for the list of infusions.
You have a book of infusions and schema containing the
infusions and schema that you have learned in your career as
any artificer.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the
artificer infusion list. You learn additional artificer cantrips of
your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known
column of the Artificer table.
Book of Infusions and Schema
You have a book of infusions and schema, which are magical
blueprints related to linking magic to objects. At 1st level, you
have a book of infusions and schema containing six 1st level
artificer infusions of your choice.
Preparing and Casting Infusions
The Artificer table shows how many infusion slots you have
to cast your infusions of 1st level and higher. To cast one of
these infusions, you must expend a slot of the infusions level
or higher. You regain all expended infusion slots when you
finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of artificer infusions that are available
for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of artificer
infusions from your book of infusions and schema equal to
your Intelligence modifier + your artificer level (minimum of
one infusion). The infusions must be of a level for which you
have infusion slots.
For example, if you're a 3rd-level artificer, you have four 1st-
level and two 2nd-level infusion slots. With an lntelligence of
16, your list of prepared infusions can include six infusions of
1st or 2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your book
of infusions and schema. If you prepare the 1st-level infusion
repair damage, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level
infusion slot. Casting the infusion doesn't remove it from your
list of prepared infusions.
You can change your list of prepared infusions when you
finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of artificer infusions
requires time spent tinkering with components and jury-
rigging together the infusion’s basic form: at least 1 minute
per infusion level for each infusion on your list.
Learning Infusions of 1st level or higher
Each time you gain an artificer level, you can add two
infusions of your choice to your book of infusions and
schema. Each of these infusions much be of a level for which
you have infusion slots, as shown in the Artificer table. On
your adventures, you might find other infusions that you can
add to your book of infusions and schema (see the "Your
Book of Infusions and Schema" sidebar).
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your artificer
infusions and schema, since your magic draws upon your
technical knowledge and skill. You use your Intelligence
whenever an infusion or schema refers to your spellcasting
ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when
setting the saving throw DC for an artificer infusion or
schema you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spellsave DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your

Spells, Infusions, Schema, Oh My!
You can think of the artificer as a class that, instead
of casting traditional spells, uses magical
knowledge to craft temporary magical items.
Artificer spells are called infusions as the magic is
infused into objects and not cast int he same way
as a spell caster. Spells that an artificer collects
from other classes are referred to as Schema.
Schema are like blueprints for consturcting a
temporary magic item that has the effect of the
spell.
Infusions. In game terms, infusions operate for
artificers the same way spells work for spell casters.
There is no material difference between the effects
of the two. Infusions are cast using spell slots.
Unless otherwise specified, infusions cast by an
artificer can only be cast into an object or a
construct. Bull’s Strength cannot be cast on a
Human, though it can be cast on that Human’s
belt, granting him/her the benefit of Bull’s Strength
as long as the Infusion lasts and the item is worn
Schema. Schema are spells of other classes that
an artificer has studied and "reverse engineered" so
he can infuse the magical effects of the spell into a
temporary magical device. Schema are more
difficult to work with for an artificer as they are
spells of a different spell casting class. The artificer
must spend more time, as well as the prerequisite
spell slots, to create an object that can use schema
magic.
Ritual Casting
You can cast an artificer infusion as a ritual onto an object if
that infusion has the ritual tag and you have the infusion in
your book of infusions and schema. You don't need to have
the infusion prepared. From a cosmetic perspective, the
artificer isn’t actually performing a ritual – your reverse-
engineering the infusion and hacking it to produce the same
magical effect. But the effect is the same as if he’s performing
a ritual.
Object Dependence
When you cast an artificer infusion, artificer cantrip, or ritual
from a book of schema, that infusion requires an object or
construct to function. You can provide these infusions
somatic and material components while touching this object
or construct.
If the infusion has a duration longer than instantaneous,
targets of the infusion must hold or wear the object to benefit
from the infusion, maintaining any requisite concentration.
Infusions that target constructs may use their body for this
object. This object functions as a spell casting focus.
Craft Arcane Device
If you have artisan’s tools with which you’re proficient and a
component pouch available, you can craft an arcane device
which acts like a spell scroll of any infusion or schema you
have in your book of infusions and schema. However the
device can be passed to another creature for them to activate.
CLASSES | ARTIFICER
4
You spend 10 minutes focusing your magic and tinkering
with the object to recieve the infusion or schema; you cannot
be otherwise performing a task. You must supply any
components the infusion requires, which are worked into the
device. The device could be a construct, in place of an object.
These devices remain until used or until you next long rest,
whichever comes first. Any DC or spell attack modifier is
based on yours at the time that the item is crafted. If the
original infusion requires concentration, the creature
activating the arcane device is the one that will be
maintaining concentration on the magic.
You can craft a number of arcane devices equal to half your
artificer level plus your Intelligence modifier; creating an
additional devices causes the oldest currently active one to
immediately lose its magic.
Infuse Potions
Starting at 2nd level, you can produce magic potions. You
spend 10 minutes focusing your magic on a vial of mundane
water and expend a infusion slot to transform it into a potion.
Once you have expended an infusion slot to create a potion,
you cannot regain that slot until the potion is consumed or
after 1 week, at which time the potion loses its effectiveness.
You can create up to three potions at a time; creating a fourth
potion causes the oldest currently active one to immediately
lose its potency. If that potion has been consumed, its effects
immediately end.
Potion type
Spell Slot (see the Dungeon Master’s Guide)
1st Climbing, or healing
2nd Greater healing, growth or mind reading
3rd Fire breath, invisibility, or water breathing
4th Resistance or superior healing
Spellcrafting Schema
You specialize in the practice of artifice and magic, dabbling
and exloring the magic of other disciplines. While they
cannot become true casters of other schools and disciplines
they can learn the inner workings of the magic involved.
When they do this they create a schema of the spell. With this
schema they will be able to create temporary magical items
that replicate the effects of these spells.
Schema
Artificers can learn spells from other classes spell lists.
Artificers in their magical studies learn to reverse engineer
the spells, creating what are called schema. Artificers then
can put the schema in thier book of infusions and schema.
Schema cannot be used as normal spells but can only be
used through the Craft Arcane Device ability.
Your studies have focused on the magic of a particular
discipline. At 2nd level, you can choose one spell casting list
other than artificer. You are able to reverse engineer the
spells from this list and add the schema to your book of
infusions and schema. Every even level you are able to select
one spell from this spell list to add as a schema to your book
of infusions and schema.
You may choose the spell list of another class at 6th level
and another one at 10th level.
Acquiring Schema of 1st-Level or Higher
Every even artificer level, you add one new schema of at least
1st-level from any classes list you have chosen to study to
your book of infusions and schema.
You can also add a spell you find to your book of infusions
and schema (see the "Your Book of Infusions and Schema"
sidebar). Schema employ a different formulation than spells
in spellbooks or ritual books, so a spellbook cannot supply a
schema and vice versa; however, other schema, spell scrolls,
and certain other magical writings can supply the appropriate
information. You cannot learn a spell schema of any level for
which you don’t have infusion slots.
Your Book of Infusions and Schema
The spells that you add to your schema book as
you gain levels reflect the arcane research you
conduct on your own, as well as intellectual
breakthroughs you have had about the technical
aspects of the magic involved. You might find
other spells during your adventures. You could
discover a spell recorded on a scroll in an evil
wizard's chest, for example, or in a dusty tome in
an ancient library. The way magic is inscribed in a
spell book, you are unable to transfer a spell from a
wizard's spell book.
Copying a Schema into the Book. When you find a
spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your
schema book if it is of a level for which you have
spell slots and if you can spare the time to
decipher and copy it.
Copying a spell into your schema book involves
reproducing the basic form of the spell, then
deciphering the unique system of notation used by
the caster who wrote it. You must practice and
study the technical aspects of the spell until you
understand what is required, then transcribe it into
your schema book using your own notation.
For each level of the spell, the process takes 2
hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents
material components you expend as you
experiment with the schema to master it, as well as
the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have
spent this time and money, you can use the
schema.
Replacing the Book. You can copy a spell from
your own schema book into another book - for
example, if you want to make a backup copy of
your schema book. This is just like copying a new
spell into your schema book, but faster and easier,
since you understand your own notation and
already know how to cast the spell. You need spend
only 1 hour and 10 gp for each level of the copied
spell.
The Book's Appearance. Your schema book is a
unique compilation of schema and formulas, with
its own decorative flourishes and margin notes. It
might be a plain, functional leather volume that you
received as a gift from your master, a finely bound
gilt-edged tome you found in an ancient library, a
spellshard , or even a loose collection of notes
scrounged together after you lost your previous
schema book in a mishap.
For example, at 2nd-level you choose Cleric spell list. You
would select a 1st-level cleric schema (spell) to add to your
book of infusions and schema at 2nd-level and 4-th level.
Later you find a scroll of Hunter's Mark, but cannot copy it to
your book since you have not studied ranger spells. At 6th-
level you add the Ranger spell list to your schema studies.
Now you are able to copy the scroll of Hunter's Mark to your
book of infusions and schema.
Artifice Tradition
When you reach 3rd level, you choose an artifice tradition,
shaping your study of magic through one of four artifice
school traditions: alchemist, battlesmith, constructs or
techno-arcanist, all detailed at the end of the class
description.
Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at
6th, 12th, and 18th level.
Salvage Essence
At 3rd level, you can spend time disassembling the magic
infused in a single identified magic item in your possession.
You take time deconstructing the item as per the table below.
When you are done the item is completely mundane, but you
also learn the formula to create that item, writting the
forumla in your book of infusions and schema.
When deconstructing an item, the time need not be spent
consecutively. For example, a 3rd level artificer could spend
one hour one day, two the next and one more the third to
deconstruct the formula for a potion of healing.
The complexity of a magic item is linked to its rarity, and
you must be a minimum level before you can disassemble an
item successfully as shown in the Artificer table. Legendary
items, artifacts, cursed items, and sentient items cannot be
deconstructed.
Rarity Time needed
Common 4 hours
Uncommon 8 hours
Rare 16 hours
Very Rare 24 hours
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2 or two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you
can’t increase any score above 20 with this feature.

including working with constructs, understanding the deeper
workings of artifice, perfecting their skills, and studying
magical items. Artificers do tend to focus their studies on
certain aspects of artifice. As such those with similar
interests gather together and study together to aid each other
in the mastering of a particular aspect of artifice as well as
general artifce.

Alchemist Tradition
One of the first things an alchemist learns is how to mix
chemicals that react explosively with each other. Alchemists
are makers of powerful and potent destructive explosive
potions. Bombs are primarily used to fend off enemies, but
many may find more practical uses for explosives, such as
demolishing obstacles. This traditions members are primarily
human, whose short lifespan and natural ambition lead them
to adapt well to the risks of alchemy.

Increased Potion Infusions

As a master alchemist, artificers that pursue this tradition at
3rd level can double the number of potions they are able to
create at one time.

Bonus Proficiences
At 3rd level, you become proficient with alchemist’s supplies,
brewers supplies or poisoner’s kits.

Infuse Bombs
At 3rd level, you can use your Infuse Potions ability to make a
bomb. The type of bomb, saving throw, and effect are laid out
in the chart below. Different bombs will require a different
base ingrediant as well as a spell slot of 1st-level or higher.
Your bombs can be thrown at any point within 20 feet or up to
60 feet with disadvantage. Every creature within 5 feet of the
bomb's impact site must make a save against your
spellcasting DC. Creatures take full damage on a failed save,
or half as much on a successful one, with no additional
effects.

Alchemist Infused Bombs

CLASSES | ARTIFICER

Makeshift Bombs
At 6th level, you learn to use your bombs to damage and
destroy structures. You now make your bombs to accept fuses
of various lengths. As an action, you can set a bomb and light
its fuse, which has a duration of your choice between 1 round
and 5 minutes. Upon detonation, this bomb deals its damage
as normal, but also deals double damage to any nonmagical
object within 5 feet of it that isn't being worn or carried and
also ignores its damage immunities. For rules on objects and
their hit points, see pages 246 and 247 of the Dungeon
Master's Guide.
Blast Powder
At 12th level, you have unlocked alchemical secrets of making
your bombs more deadly. You add your intelligence modifier
to all damage your bombs do.
Master Alchemist
At 18th level, you have achieved the peak of intellectual
studies and have perfected all forms of alchemy. You can
increase the damage die of your bombs by one step. For
example, acid bombs would now do 3d8 acid damage. The
splash range of your bombs, increases to 15 feet from impact
site. Additionally, the potenancy of your bombs allows them to
ignore resistance for any damage type that the bombs cause.
Battlesmith Tradition
Those of the Battlesmith tradition are military engineers who
focus on personal weapon and equipment upgrades as well
as direct combat skill. Battlesmith's combine a careful study
of the working of magic, particularly the destructive side of
magic, with a martial mastery that excels that of other
artificers. The name was originally a nickname for many
dwarf artificers, but due to their exploits in the Last War, the
name became official.
Bonus Proficiency
When you join the guild at 3rd level, you become proficient
with martial weapons, medium armor and shields.
Augmentation Savant
Also at 3rd level, when you cast any weapon augmentation
infusion (an infusion with weapon augmentation in its name)
the weapon will deal bonus damage. The weapon deals
bonus damage of the chosen type of infusion at 3rd level
(1d4), 7th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4) and 17th level (4d6). If
the damage of the infusion is not specified, that Battlesmith
can choose either force or lightning.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Alternatively, you may attack once, and use your second
attack to activate any magic item you carry (such as a wand).
Potent Infusions
Starting at 12th level, you add your Intelligence modifier to
damage you deal with any artificer cantrip.
Battle Magic
At 18th level, you have mastered the art of weaving
spellcasting and weapon use into a single harmonious act.
When you use your action to cast an infusion, you can make a
weapon attack as a bonus action.
Constructs Tradition
Those of the constructs tradition are specialists in combating
and supporting constructs, especially their assistant
homunculi. This tradition tends to be very focused on the
workings of all types of constructs, particularly warforged.
This tradition has seen a marked increase in popularity since
the rise of the warforged, both as subjects of research and as
members themselves.
Bonus Proficiency
When you join this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency
with the warforged repair kit.
Homunculus
At 3rd level, you can spend one week of downtime creating a
homunculus to aid you. You can only have one homunculus at
a time, but if it is destroyed, you can construct another.
Add your proficiency bonus to the Homunculus' AC, attack
rolls, and damage rolls, as well as to any saving throws and
skills it is proficient in. Increase the Homunculus' hit point
maximum to equal three times your Artificer level.

 Your homunculus acts independently of you, but it always
obeys your commands. Commanding the homunculus is a
bonus action. In combat, it takes its turn on your initiative.
Your homunculus can deliver artificer touch spells for you
as if it were a familiar (see find familiar, Player’s Handbook
p.240). If it is within 100 feet and is holding an arcane device
or prototype you created, you can activate the item on the
homunculus’ behalf as an action (in addition to the bonus
action needed to command the homunculus).
When you spend Hit Dice to recover hit points during a
short rest, you can redirect any hit points you would recover
to the homunculus instead. If you do, it also regains hit points
equal to your Intelligence modifier.

Combat Construction
At 6th level, you can cast emergency repairs, repair damage
or inflict damage as a bonus action or as an action.
Additionally, you can add an extra die to your repair damage,
inflict damage, mending wave, and disable construct spell
effects.

Advanced Homunculus
At 12th level, choose one of the advanced models of
homunculus. Given a week of downtime, you can change the
homunculus from one model to another.

Construct Dominance
At 18th level, as an action, you can make a melee spell attack
against a construct and spend a 1st-level spell slot to force the
construct to regard you as its master for 1 minute.
Independent constructs behave as if charmed instead. As an
action, a dominated construct’s original master can attempt a
Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC to regain
control of the construct.

Techno-arcanist Tradition Infused Magecrafting

Innovators and inventors who specialize in solving problems
or discovering the secrets of magic. Members of this tradition
are often nicknamed “tinkerers” due to how they are always
tinkering with everything. But teasing or not, it was often the
TEchno-arcanist's that created the airships and the
warforged.
Arcane Recovery
When you join this tradition at 3rd level, you have learned to
regain some of your magical energy by studying your book of
infusions and schema. Once per day when you finish a short
rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The
spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less
than half your artificer level (rounded up), and none of the
slots can be 6th-level or higher.
For example, if you're a 4th level artificer, you can recover
up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a
2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots.
Skilled Tinkerer
At 3rd level, you gain proficiency with two skills or tools of
your choice.
At 6th level, techno-arcanists can infuse their tools with
magic, causing them to behave perfectly for any task at hand.
You can spend a 2nd-level spell slot to add double your
proficiency bonus with all ability checks you make with a
specific tool you are proficient with for a specific task of up to
one hour.
Alternately, you can spend a 3rd-level spell slot to gain
proficiency with a specific tool set for a specific task of up to
one hour.
Salvage Savant
By 12th level, you have learned enough about the workings of
magic that you can improvise the use of items even when they
are not intended for you. You ignore all class, race, and level
requirements on the use of magic items.
Flash of Genius
At 18th level, after activating any crafted arcane device or
magical item, that would expend it's charge, you can choose
to retain the charge. This could keep a magical item that
would be destroyed when reaching 0 charges from being
destroyed. Once this feature is used, the artificer must have a
long rest before using it again.

Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (incense worth at least 250 gp, which

Duration: Instantaneous
This spell targets an object or construct you touch. The
spell brings to your mind a brief summary of the significant
history of the target. This might consist of current tales,
forgotten stories, or even secret lore that has never been
widely known. The more information you already have about
the target, the more precise and detailed the information you
receive is, while the less renowned the target is, the hazier
and less-detailed the information you receive is.
Prototype
1st-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: S, M (artisan’s tools, any material components
and a schema you’ve written of the chosen spell)
Duration: 1 hour or until used
You infuse a small object with magic, following the 1st-level
spell schema used as a component. At any point during the
duration, you can use the item to cast the schema’s spell. The
item takes the place of any components (including verbal and
somatic components), but loses its magic after afterwards.
Using the item after it has been created with Protoype takes
your action, or the chosen spell’s casting time, whichever is
longer.
Using the item carries a risk of failure. When you use the
item, you must succeed on an Intelligence (Arcana) check
(DC 12 + twice the spell slot level) to cast the spell. If you fail
the check, a mishap occurs instead; by default, this deals 2d6
force damage to you, but alternative mishaps are possible at
the DM's discretion (see Dungeon Master’s Guide p.140 for a
partial list of ideas).
Attempting to cast a spell that interacts with a magic item’s
charges (such as jumpstart or power surge) on a prototype
instantly causes a mishap, after which the prototype becomes
nonmagical.
At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell from a higher-level
spell slot, the schema can be of any spell up to that level. Treat
the spell as if it were cast in a slot of that level.

Duration: Instantaneous
You return a dead construct to life, no matter how long it
has been dead. The construct returns to life with 1 hit point,
and can spend one or more Hit Dice to regain additional hit
points during the process.
CLASSES | ARTIFICER
14
This spell can’t return a living creature or undead to life,
and can’t remove any lingering conditions or curses on
constructs it repairs. It repairs superficial damage, but
doesn’t restore missing body parts. If the construct would be
unable to survive without its missing body parts, the spell
automatically fails. Similarly, although this spell can restore
constructs whether or not they have souls, if a construct with
a soul is not both willing and at liberty to return to life, the
spell fails.
Reactivating a construct from death is an ordeal. The target
takes a -4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability
checks. Every time the construct finishes a long rest, the
penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears.
Reinforce Construct
2nd-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a tiny strip of adamantite)
Duration: 8 hours
Your spell bolsters your construct allies with toughness and
resolve. Choose up to three constructs within range. Each
target's hit point maximum and current hit points increase by
5 for the duration.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell

additional 5 for each slot level above 2nd.

Searing Weapon Augmentation
1st-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
 You infuse a melee weapon or a quiver of ammunition with
white hot intensity. The next time you hit a creature with the
infused weapon attack during the spell's duration, the attack
deals an extra 1d6 fire damage to the target and causes the
target to ignite in flames. At the start of each of its turns until
the spell ends, the target must make a Constitution saving
throw. On a failed save, it takes 1d6 fire damage. On a
successful save, the effect ends. You can choose to expend
the energy of this infusion once per round for the duration.
If the target or a creature within 5 feet of it uses an action
to put out the flames, or if some other effect douses the
flames (such as the target being submerged in water), the
effect ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, you can effect an additional weapon
in range for each slot level above 2nd.

You are considered to meet the item’s special requirements
for attunement and use (including optional requirements), if
any. This item does not count against the normal limit of
three simultaneously-attuned magic items, and when the
spell ends, the item is no longer attuned to you.
Using this spell on a cursed item causes it to attune to you
normally, including counting towards the attunement limit
and imparting the curse to you. If you already had three items
attuned when you used this spell on a cursed item, one of
them, chosen at random, is no longer attuned.
At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell from a 4th level
slot, it can attune another creature to a magic item they hold
or wear for each slot above 3rd.
Thunder Armor

You summon a field of protective force around the target,
granting them a +1 bonus to their AC until the end of your
next turn. Each creature other than you within 5 feet must
make a Constitution save, or suffer 1d4 force damage and be
pushed 5' away from them.

Thunderous Weapon Augmentation
3rd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Touch

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You infuse a melee weapon or quiver of ammunition with
crackling thunderous intensity. When released, your weapon
rings with thunder that is audible within 300 feet of you, and
the attack deals an extra 2d6 thunder damage to the target.
Additionally, if the target is a creature, it must succeed on a
Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet away from you
and knocked prone. Success avoids these additional effects.
You can choose to expend the energy of this infusion once per
round for the duration.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, you can effect an additional weapon

A surge of arcane energy washes through a construct you
can see within range, causing it to regain 70 hit points. This
spell also reduces the target’s exhaustion by one level and
ends blindness, deafness, paralysis, petrification, stunning,
and any curses affecting the target. This spell has no effect on
living creatures or undead.

with the two sharing thoughts, senses, and
language through a mystical bond.
Shared Mind. A homunculus knows everything its
creator knows, including all the languages the
creator can speak and read. Likewise, everything the
construct senses is known to its master, even over
great distances, provided both are on the same
plane. Functioning as a spy, a scout, an emissary, or
a messenger, a homunculus is an invaluable servant
for a spellcaster engaged in secret experimentation
or adventuring.

between a winged lemur and a diminutive dragon.
This homunculus is one of the few that can pass as
an organic creature, though it is crafted from clay,
hair, scales, and feathers. The expeditious
messenger is only 9 inches from its nose to its
barbed tail. This homunculus is designed for one
purpose: to quickly ferry messages to and from its
creator. It is designed to move fast, and will avoid
combat at all costs to continue to ferry its message.
