Overview

Artificers are crafters and shapers of magical matter and energy. Their three areas of practice are Alchemy (transformation and purification of substances through magical process), Enchantment (infusing magical energy into crafted objects), and Mana Manipulation (sensing, channeling, and redirecting raw magical energy). Artificers are the Sorcerers most likely to produce tangible, lasting results — their work creates things that persist after the ritual is done.
