CHAPTER 4: ITEMS ADDED TO OUR EXPEDITION'S COLLECTION WERE MANY new inventions from our resident artificer. These crea- tions proved critical in ensuring our survival against the ravages of the Mourntand, Some of the new items documented were original creations of our artficer, while others were reassem= bled or reverse engineered from destroyed prototypes of old House Cannith devices found in Making and other Cannith workshops across Cyre. Report to Prince Oargey ir'Wynarn Adversity is the root of all invention, providing both the impetus and means forall beings to better themselves, their peoples, and the world of Eberron as a whole. As such, the recording of new formillae and diagrams is vitally important to the progression ofall mortalkin. The devices listed below are all related to the Mournland in ‘that they were created there, to solve problems unique to that region. However, no items use ends there. Fach device listed here is useful anywhere in the widee world of Eberron and ‘beyond but will always be of particular use in their land of ‘origin; the ruins of once-great Cyre INNOVATIONS Daring the course of any expedition fo the Mournland, many novel and complex problems can present themselves. How ceach band of travelers responds differs, both in method and level of efficacy The following deviees were made by artifcers during various trips into the ruins of Cyre, Each represents particular problem solved through magical innovation and cleverness For ease of use, the Antficer Infusions available here are listed by level required, 2nd Level Required sig oftife 6th Level Required band of dual arcana 10th Level Required ‘mutagen vial 14th Level Required wardearver ARTIFICER INFUSIONS The Following infusions are available to any arficer that ‘meets the level requirements listed. As these are relatively new creations, your DM may’ determine that you need t find ‘blueprint or examine a working or damaged copy of the iter itself before you can create that infusion. Bap oF DuALARCANA Prerequisite: 6th-level antificer Item: a metal band to be placed around the neck of a vial or vo wands Inspired by the dual manifest zones sometimes found in the “Mournland, this device allows two distinet magical items to be combined by fusing their essences together. This item can be used either to mix two potions orto bind together two wands, so long as nether ofthe items are of Very Rare or Legendary rarity ‘When combining potions, two separate potions ae poured {nto one vial which has the hand around its neck. Only single dose potions may be mixed in this way. The resulting dual Potion, shen use, will eause the effects of both original potions simultaneously Binding two wands together is done by wrapping the band around the base of each wand. Both wands must be usable ‘with the same type of aetion, Attuning to the band will cause you to attune to both wands, while stil only counting as one attuned item, ‘The resulting dusll wand, when used, will cause the effects of both original wands simultaneously. Both effects must hhave the same target, and a dusl wand cannot target a creature ‘or object that one of the tWo original wands would not have been able o affect, Furthermore, ifeither wand runs out of| charges then the dual wand cannot function until both wands have available charges 0 use. Ttemis made withthe Replicate Magic lem infusion can also be used with this band, so long 2s they meet the other requirements needed. Starting at 10th level, the items may be Very Rare, while starting at I4th level they may be of Legendary rarityMutacen ViaL, Prerequisite: 10th-level antficer rem: a crystal vial By studying the ways in which creatures are warped by the “Mourmland, a temporary stimulant mimicking those changes ‘was developed. This vials filled with a thick, syrupy liquid, whieh slowly shifts from a golden amber toa deep, sickly green, ‘When a creature drinks from the vial as an action, it rolls 16. The creature then gains @ mutation from the Monstrous Mutations table (Eberron, pg. 220) corresponding with the number rolled. On a result oF 6, the creature chooses one of the fist five options ofits choice rather than gaining the multiple head mutation After being used, the vial begins to stowly refill with liquid. ‘This process takes 1 hou, during which the vial eannot be used. The vial can be recharged immediately by expending a Ist level or higher spel sot Severe Mutation |When using the Mutagen Vial infusion, your Dungeon Master ‘may allow you to also cause the val to give one ofthe various traits listed in chapter 2 of this report. Ifo, when a ereature drinks from the val it chooses which mutations table to rol on fit chooses the orignal Monstrous Mutations table, it ols 246 and determines the mutation as ‘described above Ifthe creature chooses to use the Monstrous "Mutations table included here, it instead rolls 1d8 and gains the corresponding trait. If the Monstrous Mutations table from this reports used, the vial takes 104+ 1 hour to refilitself, rather than taking only ‘an hour to rfl. Additionaly the val requires one spell avel per hour of filing tie left to recharge early, and thus woule require a 2nd level spell slot or two 1st lovel slots to recharge if the vial would take 2 hours to refill naturally.

WARDCARVER Prerequisite: Hitvlevelartificer Item: any bladed weapon (sword, axe, dagger, ete.) Similar tothe harrier reaver spell included in chapter 1, the wardcarver blade was created specifically to deal with the frequent magical harriers let scattered over the ruins of Cyre, While less effective than the spell in some ways. wardcarvers| have other uses as well, "This magic weapon grants a 42 bonus to attacks and damage rolls made with it. A creature bit with this weapon also cannot benefit from any Magic Resistance traitor similar effect until the end oftheir next turn. ‘Additionally, the wardcarver cat be used to eat into ‘magical baviers.

Unattended barriers require the same Intelligence check as above, made with disadvantage unless you expend a spell slot of a level equal to or higher than the barrier spell ‘This property of the blade functions only when wielded by you, and you can use ths funetion « numberof times equal 10 ‘your Intelligence modifier. You regain expended uses ater finishing a long rest. 25MAGICAL ITEMS ‘A wide variety of items li rotting in the ruins of Cyre.
