## Arcane tradition: Mechromancy Wizards are well known for their expansive mind and fearsome magical repertoire. Yet what is that power if their mortal flesh is so fragile? How are they to reach their full potential, if their physicality threatens to betray them at any time? Wizards who ask these questions often seek out the ways of the Mechromancy. Seen by some of their colleagues as taboo, these wizard improve their bodies with prosthetics, often losing their humanity in the process. ### Tools of the Mechromancer Starting at 2nd level, you gain proficiency in tinker's tools. You can use these tools as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells. ### Function over Form Addtionally at 2nd, you begin to modify your own body, to make up for its shortcomings.

Should you lose one of your prostethics, you can replace it at the end of a long rest by using the artisan tools you're proficient with. > ##### Multitude of Fleshcrafting > While the Mechromancer is designed with machine prosthetics in mind, you are free to customize the manner in which your wizard improves their body. Perhaps they use weaver's tools to sew on scavenged body parts, or they might use alchemical concoctions to grow mutated organs. Talk with your DM about this and change the tool proficiency gained accordingly. \columnbreak ### Embrace Progress At 6th level, you further adapt improve your crude biomass, as you gain one additional prostethic from Function over Form.
