Artificers
Magical crafters who bend the fundamental powers of Zol into their own creations. The creations can take many forms but largely fall into the four categories of Engineering, Alchemy, Iron Light, and Imbuement Perpetuum.
Artificers will use their creations to give themselves, or another, means beyond what they would normally be able to accomplish. This creation may manifest as a tool, pharmaceutical, transportation, weapon, or defense.
The typical forms of artificery are:
- Engineering - utilizing craftsmanship, natural materials, and mathematics to create technology.
- Alchemy - utilizing magical and scientific techniques to break down, and re-combine substances to create something greater than the sum of their parts.
- Iron Light - the most common craft. Iron utilizes simple runes formed into complex designs to leverage a user’s Vizir.
- Imbuement Perpetuum - the most complicated and powerful form of artificery. It involves permanently imbuing an object with magic far beyond the power of Iron Light These methods are frequently used together for superior results, but the resulting component is usually identified by the most difficult aspect of its making.
