Artificer Infusions

Overview & Creation

Artificers have invented numerous magical infusions that rapidly create magic items. To the untrained, artificers seem like wonderworkers, accomplishing in hours what others need weeks to complete. The description of each infusion tells you the type of item that can receive it. The description also tells you if the resulting magic item requires attunement.   Some infusions specify a minimum artificer level. You can’t learn such an infusion until you are at least that level.   Unless an infusion’s description says otherwise, you can’t learn the infusion more than once.

Class Features

Boots of the Winding Path Prerequisite: 4th-level artificer Item: A pair of boots (requires attunement) While wearing these boots, a creature can teleport up to 15 feet as a bonus action to an unoccupied space the creature can see. The creature must have occupied that space at some point during the current turn.   Enhanced Defense Item: A suit of armor or a shield A creature gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class while wearing (armor) or wielding (shield) the infused item.   The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 12th level in this class.   Enhanced Weapon Item: A simple or martial weapon This magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.   The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 12th level in this class.   Enhanced Weapon Item: A simple or martial weapon This magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.   Returning Weapon Item: A simple or martial weapon with the thrown property This magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it, and it returns to the wielder’s hand immediately after it is used to make a ranged attack.   Many-Handed Pouch Prerequisite: 4th-level artificer Item: 2-5 pouches The infused pouches all share one interdimensional space of the same capacity as a single pouch. Thus, reaching into any of the pouches allows access to the same storage space. A pouch operates as long as it is within 100 miles of another one of the pouches; the pouch is otherwise empty and won’t accept any contents.   If this infusion ends, the items stored in the shared space move into one of the pouches, determined at random. The rest of the pouches become empty.   Radiant Weapon Prerequisite: 8th-level artificer Item: A simple or martial weapon (requires attunement) This magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. While holding it, the wielder can take a bonus action to cause it to shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. The wielder can extinguish the light as a bonus action.   As a reaction immediately after being hit by a melee attack, the wielder can cause the attacker to be blinded until the end of the attacker’s next turn, unless the attacker succeeds on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. Once used, this reaction can’t be used again until the wielder finishes a short or long rest.   Resistant Armor Prerequisite: 8th-level artificer Item: A suit of armor (requires attunement) While wearing this armor, a creature has resistance to one of the following damage types, which you choose when you infuse the item: acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or thunder.       Replicate Magic Item Prerequisite: See below Using this infusion, you replicate a particular magic item. You can learn this infusion multiple times; each time you do so, choose a different magic item that you can make with it, picking from the Replicable Magic Items tables below. If a table has a level in its title, you must be of at least that level in this class to choose an item from the table.   In the tables, an item’s entry tells you whether the item requires attunement. See the item’s description in the Dungeon Master’s Guide for more information about it, including the type of object required for its making.   Replicable Magic Items

Magical Tinkering

Overview & Creation

At 1st level, you learn how to invest a spark of magic in objects that would otherwise be mundane. To use this ability, you must tinker’s tools, or other artisan’s tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical object as an action and give it one of the following magical properties of your choice: • The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet. • Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet 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 (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet 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.   The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the object and end the property early.   You can bestow magic on multiple objects, touching one object each time you use the feature, though a single object can bear only one property at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with the feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one object). If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.

The Right Tool for the Job

Overview & Creation

At 3rd level, you learn how to produce exactly the tool you need: with tinker's tools in hand, you can magically create one set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest. Though the product of magic, the tools are nonmagical, and they vanish when you use this feature again.
