Arcane Turret

You conjure a floating nexus of runic energy — an autonomous manifestation of the Weave itself. The Arcane Turret appears in an unoccupied 5‑foot space within range. It takes the shape of a hovering orb of swirling glyphs, its form shifting through symbols of ancient spellcraft and radiant sigils of power.

While the turret exists, it acts as a conduit for your offensive magic:

On each of your turns as a bonus action, you can command the turret to cast one offensive cantrip you know (such as Fire Bolt, Ray of Frost, Chill Touch etc.)The turret uses your spell attack modifier or spell save DC and all your relevant class features that modify cantrip damage (such as Empowered Evocation, Potent Cantrip, or similar).

The chosen cantrip originates from the turret’s space, which can be anywhere within 60 feet of you, and it shares the cantrip’s listed range from that origin point.

The turret emits gentle motes of starlight while idle, shedding dim light in a 10‑foot radius.

The turret cannot speak or take reactions. It hovers in place and obeys your mental commands. It can move up to 20 feet on your turn (no action required) but cannot exceed 60 feet from you. If it does, or if its hit points reach 0, it dissipates into drifting runes.

Arcane Detonation (Optional Action)
You can use your action to command the turret to collapse its runic matrix in a burst of raw Weave energy. Every creature of your choice within 15 feet of the turret must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d8 force or lightning damage (your choice) on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. The turret then vanishes.
