Spellslinger

Through the careful combination of arcana and technology, Artificers have developed a way that even those not naturally inclined to magic can wield a small portion of the immense power of the world’s arcane nature; this marvel of modern arcanology is called an Arcane Amplifier.  An individual who is implanted with an arcane amplifier when their training begins. This device allows the user to artificially pull from the magics in the surrounding area for use in controlling magical tools. This device also allows the user to direct that energy into an object for storage and later usage like a battery.  At its core this energy is raw unfocused magic, but with the proper training in spell theory and mathematics this energy can be converted into a myriad of spell-like forms. Perhaps the most effective example of this process can be found in the Spellslingers of the Andoros Imperium.

This skill allows you to create magical projectiles for use with your chosen Spellslinger Weapon and to create scrolls for  Cantrips and 1st level spells from the Evocation and Conjuration schools of magic. This ability improves at 7th and 15th levels. The difficulty of scroll creation is based on the spell level.

Arcane Ammunition

At 3rd level you learn how to inscribe offensive spells into your ammunition.  Choose one or more effects from the Arcane Ammunition list below.

You have a pool of points =  (Int Modifier + Proficiency Bonus + Level)  per day to use to create these bullets.  These points are regained on a long rest. During Combat you can choose to fire one Arcane Round per turn, this must be done before the attack roll is made.
