When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you
learn how to craft furniture with special, arcane
properties. You gain access to bonus artificer infusions,
detailed later in this subclass page, and you know two of
them. The Magicarpenter Infusion you choose counts as
an infusion for you, but it does not count against the
number of infusions you know. You must choose this
extra infusion from the Magicarpenter Infusions. These
infusions can be bestowed onto existing nonmagical
items, or you can craft them yourself. If an infusion
requires a miniature, it must be no smaller than a 3-inch
cube and no larger than a 1-foot cube.
When you gain another level in artificer, you can
replace any of the Magicarpenter Infusions you know
with other infusions in the same list. The number of
Magicarpenter Infusions you know increases as you
gain levels in this class: three at 10th level and six at
18th level. You can also infuse one extra item with a
Magicarpenter Infusion at 3rd level, two at 10th level,
and three at 18th level.
Magicarpenter Spells
Additionally at 3rd level, you always have certain spells
prepared after you reach particular levels in this class,
as shown in the Magicarpenter Spells table. These
spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t
count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Beginning at 14th level, your body constantly walks the

don’t dream unless you explicitly choose to do so. You
can spend your action to enter your Infinity Room
without tracing a door, though you cannot bring any

round), forecefully shunting you back to reality and
causing you to take 4d4 force damage at the end of the
duration.
You can willfully exit your Infinity Room again using
your action, safely depositing you in an unoccupied
space of your choice within 15 feet of where you left.
While you are in your Infinity Room in this way, the
walls are transparent and you instead see the area you
left, as if the point you left is the center of the room. You
can enter your Infinity Room in this way a number of
times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1),
and you regain all expended uses after a long rest. In
whatever way you enter your Infinity Room, you now
gain a 60-foot flying speed as you remain in this room.
Additionally, as a bonus action, you can quickly reach
into your Infinity Room to grab an item deposited or
created there that you can carry.
As a reaction, after tracing a door for Infinity Room or
trapdoor for Backroom Basement, you can cause the
door to burst open and fire a blast of condensed arcane
confusion. Each creature within a 15-foot line in front of
the door or a 10-foot radius of the trapdoor must make a
Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. On a
failure, the creature takes 6d10 force damage and must
now make a Charisma saving throw. On a success, it
takes half damage and does not make a Charisma
saving throw. If it fails the following Charisma saving
throw, the creature is charmed by or frightened of a
creature of your choice for 1 minute. You can use this
ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence
modifier (minimum 1) each long rest. After being used
in this way, the door or trapdoor disappears. If there are
any creatures in your Infinity Room when the door
disappears in this way, all creatures within are
deposited in an unoccupied space nearest to the door
and take 8d4 force damage.
