SreiicastiNe Focus You can use an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the Player's Handbook) as a spellcasting focus for your Spellsmith spells, Infusions count as their own spelicasting focus INFUSIONS Starting at the Ist level Spellsmiths have the ability to infuse their magic into crafted objects. Although the precise form is ‘mostly irrelevant, i's their arcane connection to the object that empowers it.

Once an infusion is created, you may activate it at any time while holding the item to cast the spell stored within as if you had east it normally. Only you may cast spells stored in your infusions. Cast time, targets, and any other choices normally made when casting the spell are make as normal and are cast at the same level 2s your spells. You may not have more infusions active at any fone time than your proficiency bonus. Infusions exist until ‘you sever your connection to them, which you can do to any or all of them as an action. Since infusions only function due to their arcane connection to the spellsmith, they have litle value to others and seem quite non-functional/mundane, However, anyone ‘who interacts with the infusion ean make an Intelligence (lavestigation) roll against the spellsmiths save DC to identify its true nature.

You may cast that spel at will ‘on yourself CREATIVE PATHS Although the crafts of the spelismith are diverse, their ‘magical talents tend to fall into one of several schools of thought. These aren't formalized schools as with the Wizard, or an innate magical ability as with the Sorcerer but « combination ofthe two: The outward reflection of the Spellsmith's talents as they relate to their craft ARTIFICER Antificers view their erafts as a blank canvas upon which they paint their magical talents. Where as other spellsmiths create ‘wonders that are functional to one degree or another, the Artficers view themselves ase purists: The form of their ‘works is largely immaterial It's just an achor upon which they tie their magies to. Finer crafted items make for better anchors for their work. Some artificers tie their powers to rings or weapons. Others, they te them into finely crafted masks, CUNNING ARTIFICER At the Ist level you gain proficiency in two of the following tools: Carpenter's Tools, Cobblers tools, glassblower's tools, jeweler's tools, Leatherworker’s tools, Weaver's tools, or Woodcarver's tools.

Powsr TAP ‘Atthe 18th level, When you cast a spell, you may destroy one ‘of your active infusions. Ifyou do so, it's enhancements get applied to the cast spell You must finish a short rest before you can use this feature again, ALCHEMIST {It’s a common misperception that the Alchemists trade ‘consists solely of potions and tonics. Infact, their craft has a broad range of forms. The key thing they all have in common is that they're somewhat functional even before the Alchemist imbues them with a spark of their essence. The form their infusions take form the base effect but their magic takes their efficacy to new hights. Cunninc ALCHEMIST At Ist level you gain proficiency in Alchemist Supplies and ‘one of the following tools: Brewer's Supplies, Cook's utensils, Glassblower's tools, or Potter's tools.

The tonic must be drunk within 5 minutes or else it loses its effectiveness. After drinking the tonic, the next Intelligence or Wisdom check or save the imbiber make within the next 24 hours is made with advantage. Maczrree ‘Alchemy requires firm understanding of how base elements interact and why. Magic is no different.

MacHINisT Often called tinkerers or clockmakers, Machinists are the cones that seck to push the bounds of their craft. Their infusions are mechanical marvels that defy the understanding oflesser craftsmen. Although the exact mechanics oftheir devices vary, they all share a key trait: They are wholely inert ‘without the Machinist's magics animating them.
