Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 21st level, and again at 25th and 29th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. Contrary to earlier levels, you can now improve your ability scores up to 24 using this feature.
Continuous Innovation
Through continuous practice of creating magical weapons, when you craft an item with a rarity of Very Rare or Rare, it costs half as much gold and time. If a similar feature also exists, this feature will further reduce the required duration and time.
Spellcasting
Through extended exposure to the arcane, your magic now begins developing rapidly. Your Spellcasting feature is an extension of the Spellcasting feature in the Artificer class, as shown in the Epic Artificer table. In addition, you may now prepare or learn your spells and cantrips from both the Artificer and Wizard spell list, all of which count as Artificer spells. Whenever you reach a level in this class that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can replace one cantrip you learned from this class's Spellcasting feature with another cantrip from the spell lists that you know.
Greater Skills
Starting at the 22nd level, the mystical connection to your magic items grows even stronger, allowing you to hone your abilities even further. You now gain a +1 bonus to all ability checks for every magic item you are currently attuned to.
Magic Item Guru
Your skill with magic items reaches new heights. You can attune to up to seven magic items at once. Using an action, you can restore a number of charges to a magic item as if that item were to regain its charges naturally. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
Adept Tinkering
At 23rd level, you can use now use your Magical Tinkering feature on Huge or smaller objects.
Furthermore, you can produce exactly the tool you need, exactly when you need it. Using an action with tinker’s tools in hand, you can magically create one set of nonmagical artisan’s tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you, which vanishes when you use this feature again.
Infusion Formulae
Your diversity in your craft knows no bounds. Your Replicate Magic Item infusion can now replicate any item of the Uncommon or Common rarity, and you may replace one Replicate Magic Item Infusion that you know for another Replicate Magic Item infusion at the end of a long rest.
Spell-Storing Upgrade
At 24th level, your knowledge on spells begin to grow beyond just infusions. You can now choose a 3rd-level spell or below from the spells you know that requires 1 action to cast to store into an object (you needn't have it prepared).
Inspired Spellcasting
Growing beyond your items is your knowledge on magic itself. At 25th level, you may choose a spell list from another class to be able to learn or prepare your spells and cantrips from, which will count as Artificer Spells. In addition, you may now prepare twice as many spells than before.
Relentless Soul
Starting at the 26th level, the immense ability stored within the Soul of Artifice begins to blossom. You may choose to drop to 1 hit point instead of 0 a number of times equal to half your proficiency bonus, rounded down. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Prodigious Flash
Also at 26th level, the rapid development of your ingenuity has also begun to show in your abilities. Whenever you use the Flash of Genius feature, you may now instead subtract your Intelligence modifier to an ability check or saving throw, instead of adding it.
Artificer Specialist Feature
You gain a feature from your Artificer Specialization, detailed at the end of the class description or one from another source.
Perfected Infusions
You have breached the limits of your magical creations. At 28th level, you may now infuse magical items, and all items can now have two infusions at a time. If one or multiple infusions, or the items infused require attunement, you only require to attune to the item once. Infusions that grant a bonus gain an additional +1 bonus (e.g. Repeating Shot becomes a +2 to hit and damage, whilst Enhanced Defense becomes a +3 to AC), and your Replicate Magic Item infusion can now replicate any item or its enchantment (if it is a magical item) that is of the Rare rarity or below.
Perfected Spell-Storing Item
When you reach 29th level, you have finally found the solution to the question you could never answer before. Your Spell-Storing item can now store any spell of the 3rd-level and below, regardless of the casting time required (you needn't have it prepared).
Ultimatum
When you reach 10th level, your tinkering abilities are at its pinnacle, breaking through your past limits and giving you true mastery over magic items:
• You can now attune to eight magic items at once.
• Items that have abilities that use a fixed saving throw or attack mod now uses your Artificer spellcasting ability or save DC.
• At the end of your long rest, select two of your infusions that require attunement (this does not apply to the Replicate Magic Item infusion). They will not require attunement until you complete another long rest.
Inbegriff
You feel as though you can speak to items through your mystical connection, and in return of your care and expertise in wielding them, they protect you even further. The Soul of Artifice grows, giving you newfound strength.
• You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws, as your mentality develops beyond just the arcane and mystics of innovation.
• You can now wield firearms with the Two-Handed property with one hand. If your creature size is smaller than medium, you can also wield weapons the Heavy property without disadvantage. Whilst doing so, your movement speed is halved, and you can not wield another weapon on other hands.

Replicate Magic Item
Using this infusion, you replicate a particular magic item. You can learn this infusion multiple times; each time you do so, choose a different magic item that you can make with it, picking from the Replicable Magic Items tables below. If a table has a level in its title, you must be of at least that level in this class to choose an item from the table. In the tables, an item’s entry tells you whether the item requires attunement.
