Spellcasting
You've studied the workings of magic and how to cast spells, channeling the magic through objects. To observers, you don't appear to be casting spells in a conventional way; you appear to produce wonders from mundane items and outlandish inventions.Spell Slots
The Artificer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
Memorised Spells
You are capable of memorising a number of spells equal to your Arcana Skill Modifier (to a minimum of 0). The spells memorised can be of any level between 0 and 9.
To memorise a new spell, you need to spend 6 + 2 times spell level in hours partaking in a ritual/study session to learn and memorise the spell or exchange a spell that you memorised with a new spell. And the spell you are memorising to must be from a creature that also memorised it, or scripture containing information on the spell, such as a scroll or spell book.
Repaired Spells
You are also capable of preparing a number of spells equal to either your Inteligence Modifier or half your Artificer level, witch ever is higher.
To be able to prepare spells, you need a spellbook, or a object that serves the function of a spellbook, and the ability to read and write in one language. This will serves as your repertoire of magic, through 1 hour of prayer and meditation with your spellbook you can change out one of your spells with another write in your book.
Spellbook RulesYour spellbook
The spells that you add to your spellbook reflect the magic research you conduct on your own, insight into the power you draw from and how it can be used. To expand this knowledge you must seek out locations, people and powerful entities to learn from. Seeking out organisations dedicated to magic is a safe bet to find new spells. You could also discover a spell recorded on a scroll, the mural on the wall in a temple, or in a dusty tome from the corner of an old library.
Copying a Spell into the Book. When you find a new spell, you can add it to your spellbook if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it. Copying a spell into your spellbook 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 the spell until you understand the sounds or gestures required, then transcribe it into your spellbook 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 spell to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the spell just like your other spells.
Replacing the Book. You can copy a spell from your own spellbook or your memory into another book. If you want to make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is just like copying a new spell into your spellbook, 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. This also includes spells from your memory.
If you lose your spellbook. You are unable to prepare your spells, the spells you have prepared will be cast-able for the duration of 3 days. At the end of that time, any prepared spell will no longer be prepared for you, on account that their intricate castings slipped out of your mind.
If you want to make copies of your notes, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the spells that you have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of your spellbook requires you to find new spells to do so, as normal. For this reason, many practitioners of the magic arts keep backup spellbook in a safe place.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your artificer spells; your understanding of the theory behind magic allows you to wield arcane magic, but you rely on your creations to fully realice you magic. You use your Intelligence whenever an artificer spell reffers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an artificer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.Spell save DC = 8 + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your Intelligence modifier
Tools Required
You produce your artificer spell effects through your tools. You must have a spellcasting focus-specifically thieves' tools or some kind of artisan's tool-in hand when you cast any spell with this Spellcasting feature (meaning the spell has an "M" component when you cast it). You must be proficient with the tool to use it in this way. See the equipment chapter in the Player's Handbook for descriptions of these tools. After you gain the Infuse Item feature at 2nd level, you can also use any item bearing one of your infusions as a spellcasting focus.Ritual Casting
You can cast an artificer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.Magical Tinkering
At 1st level, you've learned how to build objects that enhacne your spell casting. Unlike other spell casters, Artifices rely in their skill with tools to craft items to enhance their magic ability. You are able to build items called "Catalyst", and with these items you are able to add your proficensy bonus to saves and attacks for spells. By spending 8 hours to sit down and tinker, you work with your chosen tool to create the catalyst and designate what spell it is going to be able to cast. By using material worth 15 + 25 times the spells level in Gold, you craft the catalyst and inbue it with the effect of one spell that you know and is cast with either an action or bonus action. The catalyst dose not work unles it is charged with your spellslots. At the end of a short rest, you can refuel/recharge the catalyst by expend a number of your spell slots of your choise. The spell slots used must be of the same level. You are able to create a number of catalyst equal to your proficiensy modifer + 1. The catalyst remain charged untill the end of your next long rest. While holding the object, a creature can take an action to activate and produce the spell's effect from it, using your spellcasting ability modifier. If the spell requires concentration, the creature must concentrate once they used it. If you use the catalyst yourself, and you have the spell prepaired or memorised, you add your proficensy modifer to the save DC and spell attack.You focus on creating and maintaining enchanted items.
The catalyst takes the form of gear, such as weapons, armour or rings. You may create or convert a non magical weapon, trinket or armour to be a catalyst. It can be wielded like a weapon or worn like armour due to its design.

Infuse Item
At 2nd level, you've gained the ability to imbue mundane items with certain magical infusions, turning those objects into magic items.Infusions Known
When you gain this feature, pick four artificer infusions to learn. You learn additional infusions of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Infusions Known column of the Artificer table. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer infusions you learned with a new one.Infusing an Item
Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a nonmagical object and imbue it with one of your artificer infusions, turning it into a magic item. An infusion works on only certain kinds of objects, as specified in the infusion's description. If the item requires attunement, you can attune yourself to it the instant you infuse the item. If you decide to attune to the item later, you must do so using the normal process for attunement (see the attunement rules in the Dungeon Master's Guide). Your infusion remains in an item indefinitely, but when you die, the infusion vanishes after a number of days equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 day). The infusion also vanishes if you replace your knowledge of the infusion. You can infuse more than one nonmagical object at the end of a long rest; the maximum number of objects appears in the Infused Items column of the Artificer table. You must touch each of the objects, and each of your infusions can be in only one object at a time. Moreover, no object can bear more than one of your infusions at a time. If you try to exceed your maximum number of infusions, the oldest infusion ends, and then the new infusion applies. If an infusion ends on an item that contains other things, like a bag of holding, its contents harmlessly appear in and around its space.Artificer Specialist
