Etcher

Etching

2nd-level Etcher Feature

Gain access to the Etcher's more vital tool the Etcher's needle. The Etcher's needle is a material component required to perform any and all etchings, the loss of a needle would require the Etcher to make do with the current number of etched object in their arsenal until they can find a merchant to replace their fine tool for 500g. Not having an Etcher's needle doe not prevent an Etcher from performing their spells through the means of Sluggish Casting, it merely halts the production of etched objects.

Put any leveled spell (1-7) with a casting time of 1 action or bonus action, but not a reaction into an object using 10x(the spell level) in minutes to etch the magical energy for the spell into the object of choice. Any object that has held the magical energy of a spell becomes magically inert and cannot be used under these circumstances again. Magical Items may not withstand the additional magical energy of a spell otherwise and may become magically unstable. Magical instability, a 20% chance per spell level to implode the magical item after an indeterminable amount of time.

As an action you may activate a spell within an object each turn, using the object as its point of reference. This action is considered as a use magical device action, and thus cannot be activated by a mage hand, unseen servant, etc. 

Sluggish Casting

If the etcher does not have a spell saved on and object they may ritual cast any prepared spell, the spell is neither etched nor saved on an object, its effect will proceed the end of the ritual cast time. Non-ritual spells will still consume the spell slot that the spell is being cast at.
