Crystal Maker[edit]
Artificer Subclass
Crystal Makers are artificers that empower crystals made from the land below and use it to hold and cast spells or grant unique effects. Typically, Crystal Maker creates crystals themselves but can buy more refined crystals to empower their effects and help them in types of situations they are in.
- Tool Proficiency
At 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Jeweler's Tools. If you are proficient in these tools already, you can pick another artisan tools of your choice.
- Crystal Maker Spells
At 3rd level, you gain spells at a certain level after a select class level. These spells don't count against the spells you have prepared and count as artificer Spells for you regardless of class type.
Crystal Maker Spells
| Artificer Level | Spells |
|---|---|
| 3rd | ' |
| 5th | ' |
| 9th | ' |
| 13th | ' |
| 17th | ' |
- Enchant Crystal
At 3rd level, you have gained the basic pillar of a Crystal Maker's core, crystals. On a long rest, you can configure a "no grade-type" crystal using your innate magic up to your Intelligence modifier to create unique effects originating from your crystal or you can divy them up and imbue one or more crystals by expending 1st level or higher spells into the crystals for later use. These crystals sell for no price and take a dull appearance when not holding anything in them but take a different appearance when holding a specialization and crystals holding spells take on a bright white that swirls with magic, moving almost like dust. When expending a Crystal, that crystal is then consumed.
If you wish to upgrade the potency of the crystal, you can go onto a scale of D to A. To upgrade one crystal, you must expend a number of gold into your crystals and must use Jeweler's Tools to make better crystals. Additionally, some crystal types in current and future levels may require higher grade-type crystals to even perform as in weaker crystals, the magic inside of it overwhelms the crystal and ceases the crystal and magic out of existence but it also goes the other way around, if the crystal does not mention a grade that means the crystal is to weak to function on a more potent crystal. This being said, crystals with a parentheses in their title followed by a grade, is the required grade you need (or higher) to use the crystal. The table below shows how much gold is required to make a better crystal:
Crystal Grader
| Grade | Cost |
|---|---|
| D | 100 gold pieces |
| C | 500 gold pieces |
| B | 750 gold pieces |
| A | 1,000 gold pieces |
