Inventor

No one knows for sure what Sparks are or what makes a Spark awaken, though the people of Brozen believe it's the blessing of the Muses and blood. When the spark ignites in a person, their mind is set ablaze with raw, unfurling power and passion while their mind races with cognitive speed, power, and inspiration beyond most people’s dreams. An Inventor with the Spark can't stand idle: they must explore, learn, experiment, and create. This rush can lead Sparks to rash actions and even madness. The greatest power of the Sparks is how reality warps around the Inventor, subconsciously bending it to the will of their enigmatic sciences and fevered imaginations.

The Mad Inventors of Brozen

Inventors are a powerful group of people driven by passion and enpowered by twisted science. Their passion warps reality itself and makes the impossible possible. While most Inventors are found in the Enlightened Empire of Brozen, it is not unheared of to find them elsewhere.

Subconscious Psionics

Inventors, unlike most psionics, do not consciously know they're psionic, instead attributing their ablity to science and willpower. While they understand that there is something special about being a Spark, they still reject and argue against proof of their true nature.

Creating an Inventor

Inventors are people scientifically driven by the insatiable curiosity and passion of their Spark. When creating a Spark, invest in a mad scientist, essentric inventer, or crafty explorer. Inventors can fill the role of defender or damage dealer with the right kit, but their main role is support. While they don't have the same quality or quantity of "spells" as true spellcasters, they make up for this by having inventions that are both infinitely reuseable and transferable.

Scientific Genius

At level 1, the Inventor may use tinker's tools like thieves' tools and may add their proficiency bonus when dealing with alchemy, machinery, or anatomy.

Invention

Starting at level 1, during a long rest, the Inventor can create artifacts (inventions) from the invention list (p.5) or with the effects of wizard list spells. Inventons are used in the same way as wands or other magic items with the exception that they have 16 charges and count as psionic instead of magic for the purposes of interaction with other spells, items, and effects. Spell charge cost is (spell level) charges per use, with cantrip be counted as lv. 0.

Inventions use Int. for operation (a.k.a. casting) and charges are refreshed after a short rest. You can’t have more inventions then you can make in a single long rest but they can be used by others. You can change which spell the inventions are mimicking during a long rest at the cost of 10 gp. Starting Inventions are free but the cost of replacing a lost or broken invention is 100gp x spell level.
