I am loving playing my artificer but would like there to be spells that are actually customized for the class. I know that other spells are supposed to be described in a different way when cast by an Artificer but it would be cool if there are spells unique to the Artificer. Any of you make some yet?
there are actiually a lot of low-cr constructs, so i had this idea for an 4th level spell for the artificer. Basically you take the conjure animals / conjure minor elementas spell, but you make the following changes:
- it has an casting time of 10 minutes
- its range is only 5 feet
- it is an transmutation spell instead of an conjuration spell
- the material components is effegies of the creatures you are trying to create, worth at least 800 gp in total
- the spell summons constructs instead of beasts or elementals, so you might create scarecrows or low level modrons or some other construct creature detailed
- since the creatures you create with the spell are the same as the materal component, the creatures revert to their inanimate state when they are reduced to 0 hit points instead of dissapearing. The same thing happens if the spell ends
- the artificer gets to choose the exact creatures he summons with the spell, since he or she is actiually creating them, however the artificer must have seen the particular construct before, or an artificer might need to have the schematics for creating the creature before he can use this spell
-when casting this spell with an higher level spell slot, you can choose to create more creatures than normal or you can decide that you want to use an higher level spell slot to increase the duration instead
this spell could allow an artificer to really embrace the construct creating aesthetic of the artificer as an whole, and it also allows you to create some of the things that are normally acessible only to construct making NPC's. You could most likely use conjure elemental as an template for another spell that lets you temporarily replicate an stronger construct

There was a spell called Arcane Weapon with the Artificer UA that was pretty sweet, should be easy enough to find on the net
