An artificer who specializes as an Aethersage knows the mystical energies of magic almost like a second skin. The magic inside the artifacts hones the artificer’s magic, unleashes potent attacks, and generates a formidable defense. The artificer's knowledge of the 'aether' refines its magical capabilities.
