Archivist
For centuries chroniclers have sought the best way to store
vast amounts of information. Where most are satisfied with
scrolls, Archivists strove for something greater. They have
learned to store libraries worth of information in a single
object, awakening the first Artificial Minds. Working in
tandem with these wondrous Minds, Archivists wield the
potentially limitless power of these arcane intelligences.

How will you use your ability to create artificial intelligence?

Biomancer
While most artificers are content with mechanical innovation,
some see biology, the science of living things, as an area rife
with potential. Biomancers are those who use their talents to
supplement their own anatomy and create life. Combining
necromancy and transmutation magic, Biomancers see all
living things as prototypes that can be magically evolved.

Chronothief
For those that pursue the magic of artifice, no area of study is
too dangerous. Perhaps against their better judgment, some
artificers choose to experiment with Chronomancy, the magic
of time. Known as Chronothieves, these bold artificers are
marked by their signature Chronometers, a wondrous object
which they use to steal moments and adjust the flow of time.

Alchemy is a delicate art, tip the ratio of ingredients too far
out of line and the effects could be disastrous. Those that
study the magic of arcane potions and brews are known as
Alchemists. They are experts at combining exotic reagents

to produce a variety of materials and effects. From healing

droughts that can mend a wound in moments, to sticky goo
that explodes when it comes in contact with open flame.

With careful preparation, and a bit of luck, Alchemists are

masters of both giving life and leeching it away.
