Advancements by Tier
Tier 1: Ability.
| Name | Type | Cost | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scan | Ranged | 2 MP, 1 AP | The Artificer selects a single target. They immediately learn its current HP, MP, Shell, and element. Subsequent uses of this ability on the same target will allow the Artificer to learn the same information, or allow them to learn the value of its statistics, its item table, or reveal its abilities. |
Tier 2: The Artificer gains +1 Magical Accuracy.
Tier 3: Ability.
| Name | Type | Cost | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Item Specialist | Passive | N/A | When the Artificer uses an ability that costs MP, they may substitute the MP cost of the ability by expending an item whose effect is of the same type as the ability. So, for example, they may substitute the MP cost of the Saboteur’s Slow ability by expending an item that also inflicts a status on a single target. |
