Alchemists Box

A small cube with a turn latch on the face. When the latch is turned the box expands into a roughly 1'x1' cube with a swivel hinge latch on the top of the box. the front face is adorned with a small control panel with several tuning knobs and a small Aether display for storing alchemical recipes. Inside of the box is a series focusing lens on the interior face of each wall for channeling alchemical processes and emits a faint blue hue from the lid of the box. 

The Box contains two primary functions: containing reactions for larger scale transmutation of materials through alchemy and the storing of recipes for later use via the terminal on its' surface. During a period of long rest an Artificer expend their remaining spell slots to perform any of the boxes two primary abilities. These abilities can be performed in a combined number of times as long as you have available Charges / Spell slots to use them. The box has a maximum of number of charges equal to twice your proficiency bonus and regains up to half of the maximum available charges at dawn.

Charge Amphora 1 Charge: attempt to charge the uncharged Amphora shards in your inventory. DC 15 alchemy check. On a success refine an amount of shards in player inventory equal to your character level. On a 1 half of the total possible shards are lost due to the volatile nature of Amphora.

Synthesize 3 Charges: Attempt to load a new recipe into the codex following standard recipe requirements (Mold: Mass/Shape, Catalyst: Amphora/Gold cost, and a Solvent/Reactant). DC 15 Alchemy check. On a success you succeed at added a recipe to the codex with 100% return on resource and can be added to the recipe codex with a value of up to 100 gold. Additionally, you may attempt to synthesize a recipe for an item worth more than 100g. The DC increases by 1 for each 100g above the standard transmuting limit. (Example: 100g item would be 15, 101-200 would be 16, etc.
