Artificer
- "I've got just the thing..."
While mages and spellblades use the force of Magic in a direct, immediate sense, artificers focus on producing items of power. The path of the artificer is an ancient tradition in Trinity, but has seen more than its fair share of tragedy: among the ancient Arkeyans, the trade arose in tandem with that civilization's research into Technology, and the attempts at combining the two led to that people's downfall. Eons later, the Ronkans would fall prey to the same trap.
Modern artificers are usually well-versed in the history of their trade, and are often very specific about what it is they do; while some would expect that they would get along well with technologists and greasemonkeys, in fact the opposite is true, with artificers drawing a very clear distinction between themselves and their Technological counterparts. To further that end, many artificers hold much more strongly to the common aesthetics of Magic than mages or spellblades, ensuring that those who handle them know their Magical origin.

Game Rule Information
Force Alignment: Magic.
Force Resistances: PR 5 + level, TR 5 + level.
Favored By: Espers.
Design Notes
Obviously inspired by the original Artificer from Eberron. Modifications made to match Magic use in Trinity; also bunch of things taken from here.
