Arcanist Spells

Sigil Regulator

3rd-level Arcanist feature

You've learned how to create a magical device that allows you to regulate the arcane energies of your spells and magical items, allowing you to replicate the effects of meta magic thx to the series of interchangeable Sigils etched into it's parts. You choose what this device looks like and if it is a tiny or small sized object. The device has a number of charges equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all expended charges when you finish a long rest. When you cast a spell or a magical effect, you can expend charges to apply one of the following effects:

• Optimized Spell

   When you roll damage for a spell or a magical effect , you can spend 1 Charge to reroll a number of the damage dice up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). You must use the new rolls.

• Calculated Spell

   When you cast a spell that forces other creatures to make a saving throw, you can protect some of those creatures from the spell’s full force. To do so, you spend 1 charge and choose a number of those creatures up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one creature). A chosen creature automatically succeeds on its saving throw against the spell or magical effect.

• Transmuted Spell
  When you cast a spell that deals a type of damage from the following list, you can spend 1 charge to change that damage type to one of the other listed types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, thunder.

• Impart Energy: You replenish the charges of a magic item that uses charges by up to half your artificer level rounded down.
• Augment Energy: You infuse a weapon with a reservoir of arcane energy that lasts until the end of your next long rest or until it is expended. The wielder of the weapon can use a free action after making an attack roll to expend this energy to gain a +2 bonus to that attack roll.
