Profession
Artificer - Masterpiece
Accomplished artificers that pour love into their weapon designs as a crafter and actively add unique items to the world can request a masterpiece recipe, the pinnacle of their talent. These are enchantments that grant a slight buff to the target item with extensive, decade long cooldowns, meaning a master Artificer will only produce so many in a lifetime. You also have to be actively playing the artificer (earned X amount of EXP within the past few weeks) or you won't be able to use the enchantment.
Masterpiece enchantments do not stack (but do upgrade). They also let you change the name, description, and unique tag of the target item.
Artisan
weapon: 5 power
chest: 3 vitality
10 year cooldown
Master
weapon: 8 power
chest: 5 vitality
15 year cooldown
Grandmaster
weapon: 12 power
chest: 7 vitality
20 year cooldown

Signature Abilities
These are iconic abilities that might be rewarded for exemplary storytelling. See https://chronicles-of-eternia.com/forum/thread-12133-post-67133.html#pid67133
Listed is the type of ability (Aura, Attack, Toggle-Buff, etc), the Spell Point (SP) cost, and the Affinity (Magic School). Signatures require 50 Spell Points spent within the associated Magical Classification if a base Affinity (Air, Water, Earth, Fire, Energy, Nature, Illusion, Armed, Unarmed) or 40 Spell Points if an advanced specialization within those base affinities.
Keep in mind that the written flavor does not necessarily need to be followed. You are free and encouraged to come up with a unique spin while respecting the overarching lore and source material.
Super Magi
Energy, Holy, Occult (Aura) 10 SP
There are natural limiters to the magical circuit to regulate its flow. A Super Magi can overcome these barriers and assume a form of free flowing ethereal magic; it requires a body that is trained to physical perfection and endurance to sustain this limit breaking state.
Energy Cannon
Energy (Attack) 10 SP
The Void (Wildcard)
(Aura) 10 SP
Of the darkest corners of the cosmos, eldritch entities lay in wake, on the very edge of creation and far beyond even the dim unlight of Helheim. Madness is the defining characteristic of the unfortunate person to come into contact and maintain communion with the energy of the Void. Its thousand eyes manifest through the host.
The Gaze
(Aura) 10 SP An entity overlooks and shares its power with the bearer, typically of the Void or some damned world, peaking beyond the cracks.
