Artificer
With the exodus of Gnomes from Aertrea, the Artificer was an all but forgotten profession. Only recent interest in the art in the Jeweled Cities (in particular Opal) has brought the Artificer back into the notice of most people. There are certainly a few others spread about the world, mostly Dwarven and High Elven individuals. There are some few dedicated artificers in Arcadia, who work not only on constructs but strange mechanical device to assist in task both everyday and extraordinary.

The casting time of an infusion can be reduced to 1 round 1/day per INT or with the use of an action point. Artificers can apply metamagic feats to infusions.
