Clockwork Wand The clockwork mage uses a mechanical wand as a focus to channel magical energy. This wand is built into the clockwork mage’s chest, with only the crystal at the end exposed. The mage can Interact to the remove the wand, or someone else can remove it with a DC 31 Thievery check to Disable a Device. The clockwork mage becomes unable to cast any spells except cantrips while the wand is removed. When removed, the clockwork wand is a magic wand containing the last 2nd-level innate spell the clockwork mage cast (the GM determines the spell randomly if it has not cast any eligible spells). The spells are placed within the wand while the mage is created, and the creator can substitute other arcane spells of the appropriate level.

About

A clockwork mage is a lethal blend of magic and machinery. Each of these clockworks is imbued with an arcane stone at its core that powers spells through the wand embedded in its chest.

Clockworks can be prone to errors if not well maintained or properly programmed. You might want to introduce one of the malfunctions listed on the facing page in a clockwork that is in disrepair or gets damaged heavily in battle (such as with a critical hit).
