The Arcane Innovator

In combat, an Arcane Innovator seamlessly blends arcane and weapons and armor making something entirely new. This hybrid battle style fuses martial prowess with arcane energy, creating a unique and formidable approach to warfare.

You can craft Wandbows. A hybrid of the Blast Stick and the Crossbow that uses ammunition which can be infused or made into trick ammo. But still uses Intelligence as it's modifier. 

If a Crossbow used in its making has magical properties or requires Attunment. This is still the case after crafting. 

Wand bows can also be enchanted or upgraded as could any Crossbow.

Wandbows have the loading property. But can be fired without ammunition the using the same rules as the blast stick.
