Created during the Last War the artificers of the Ascendance Order were scientists that harnessed the power of the Silver Flame in their creations creating powerful weapons capable of destroying their foes with blessed shots. Nowadays with the reluctancy of Thrane to accept the help of other nations the Ascendance Order work with Jaela Daran and the Council of Cardinals in helping Thrane deal with the treats of Khyber or in special missions like spying.

Some artificers or the order leave thrane in search of knowledge or tecnology nescessary to further their creations.

Each of these weapons require 50gp of materials, If you already have a weapon constructed, you tranform that weapon rather than creating a completely new one, you can't have two weapons active at the same time. You are proeficient with these weapons, and you use your Intelligence modifier for thei attack and damage rolls. They function through channeling your inner magic, and thus cannot be wielded by other creatures. Each of these weapons have the following special property:

Recharge (X). Only X attacks can be made with a weapon that has the recharge property before it needs to be recharged.A weapon can be recharged as a bonus action, but it cannot be recharged on the same turn it is used to make an attack.
Special. You do not make attack rolls with this weapon. Instead your attacks with it shoot blasts of radiant energy that fill a line 5ft wide and 10ft long from your point. Each creature in the area must succeed a Dexterity saving throw against your Artificer spell save DC or take the weapons damage.

Also, you can expend spell slots to empower these weapons. When you recharge one of these weapons, you can expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. Until the weapon is once again recharged, it has the following enhanced effects, based on its type: 

Aurum Blaster. Attacks made with the weapon deal additional radiant damage on hit:
1d4 for a 1st level slot, 1d6 for a 2nd level slot, 1d8 for a 3rd level slot, 1d10 for a 4th level slot, 1d12 for a 5th level slot or higher.

Bolt Shooter. Attacks made with the weapon explode in a burst of light. Hit or miss, the target and each creature within 5 ft of it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your Artificer spell save DC or take 2d4 radiant damage for the 1st level slot, plus 1d4 for each spell level above 1st.

Lux Cannon. The area of effect of attacks made with the weapon become cones, rather than lines and any creature that fails it's save and are within 5 feet of the shoot are knocked prone. The cone's size is 10ft. If you use a slot of 2nd level or higher, the weapon's damage is increased by 1d4 for each spell level higher than 1st.
