Spells

 * A artificer must choose and prepare their spells ahead of time (see below).
 * To inscribe, prepare, or cast a spell, the artificer must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against an artificer’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the artificer’s Intelligence modifier.
 * Like other spellcasters, an artificer has a limited number of spell points and spell slots.
 * Their base daily allotments are given in the previous table.
 * Bonus Spell points are awarded for high Intelligence as detailed here.
 * Unlike a bard or sorcerer, an artificer may know any number of spells. They must choose and prepare their spells ahead of time by resting at a rest shrine or being in a tavern. While resting an Artificer should decide which spells to prepare.
 * Of particular Note to Players when developing an Artificer Character is that certain spells may only be obtained through the Auction House; finding a scroll or choosing it upon leveling up. The full list can be found here.
