Infuser

These users of bows, darts, crossbows and even firearms have unearthed and mastered dark magics, but not the lore-heavy magics of wizards. They apply the forbidden ways of warlocks to infuse their ammunition with potent magics or learn fragments of this knowledge that are frowned upon by the scholars who recognise such potent abilities.

Spellcasting

You gain proficiency in Arcana unless you already have it.

 

When you pick this subclass at 3rd level, you gain the ability to fuse your magics with special ammunition, instead of casting the spells directly. You gain access to the Warlock spell list, and use Wisdom as your spellcasting ability modifier. You must provide all spell components when infusing the spell, however your ammunition counts as a spellcasting focus, though you can still use a component pouch. Doing so also makes the ammunition infused a magical weapon for the duration, for the purposes of overcoming non-magical resistances.

 

You may expend a spell slot or cast a cantrip to store the spell in any type of ranged weapon ammunition. This spell will remain potent inside the ammunition until you finish a short or long rest. The maximum number of infused ammunition you may have at any time is equal to your Wisdom Modifier (Minimum of 1). 

 

A cantrip, while not requiring any spell slots to cast and infuse, requires a sacrifice to the Weave. Whenever you cast a cantrip, you take damage equal to the damage on the table below:

Total Level	Damage
3	2
5	3
11	5
17	6

You may only infuse one piece of ammunition at a time which takes the full casting time of the spell to do. If a spell has the concentration property, it cannot be cast by you, but you can still learn it. A cantrip stored in a piece of ammunition does scale by level, so an Eldritch Blast spell at 5th level fires just one blast. A Spell with the range of Self affects the target of the ranged weapon attack.

 

When you make a successful ranged attack against the target, it will release the spell as if you had casted it from the same position as the ammunition as a free action. You must roll for the spell stored in the ammunition separately to the ranged weapon attack. If your ranged weapon attack hits, this spell attack cannot be at disadvantage and saving throws cannot be at advantage. If both attacks successfully hit, they count as one attack.

 

A spell that has the reaction requirement to cast is infused as an action, but the spell can only be cast once the reaction requirement is met.

 

The number and levels of spells that you can cast from is shown below. Expended spell slots are replenished after finishing a long rest.

Occult Knowledge

Your studies and research has led you to further develop your dark power.

You can choose one invocation from the Warlock invocation list. You must meet all requirements to take the invocation and the chosen invocation must be 2nd level.

In addition, any effect that uses your Charisma modifier uses your Wisdom modifier instead.

Twin Infusion

At 10th level, you can now infuse two pieces of ammunition at the same time. These spells can be of a different type and level.

To do this, you must provide spell slots for both spells, and they must have the same casting time.

Master Infuser

You can now infuse one piece of ammunition with a concentration spell. This spell remains infused for only it's duration, rather than until a short or long rest.

Once you use this feature, you cannot do so until you finish a long rest.

Occult Speciality

You may choose to either take one 2nd or 5th level invocation, or instead gain the ability to infuse three pieces of ammunition, instead of two.

Invocation

You gain one 2nd or 5th level invocation of your choice. You must meet any and all requirements for the invocation.

Triple Infusing

When you use your infusing, you may infuse three spells at the same time. While these spells may be different or the same, they must all have the same casting time and you must expend a spell slot for each.
