Creation of the Vials requires special glass and metal that can withstand the energy of the pure arcana. To create these vials a tinkerer and an arcanist must work together to fuse the magic into both the glass and metal. To make a vial you must expend some spell energy and 50 gp.

It’s up to you to decide whether a character has proficiency with a firearm. Characters in most D&D worlds wouldn’t have such proficiency. During their downtime, characters can use the training rules in the Player’s Handbook to acquire proficiency, assuming that they have enough ammunition to keep the weapons working while mastering their use.
