Arcane Schema

You are able to learn a spell's schemas that you keep in your schema book. A schema differs from a spell in that a schema doesn't pull the magic to create the effect - it the understanding needed to infuse the power of that Schema into an item but not to cast the spell itself. Therefore, you cannot cast the spell directly (but are able to create scrolls or wands with the spell's ability imbued within it). Some Schema's knowledge also allows you to research and create Formulae that have the prerequisite spell as a requirement for creation.

As with Infusions, schemas are not the same as a warlock's, a cleric, sorcerer or even a wizard's magic - being neither arcane or divine in nature, but are those spell's underlying pattern, the most basic form of the magic's effect. Any other class would not be able to pick up the book and reverse engineer the spell schema into a workable spell. (DM's Fiat obviously overrides that).

You can also copy the addition spells into your schema book by examining a scroll, a spell book, schema book (This does not use up the book). Artificer's automatically know how to use any of their known spells as schemas and does not need to keep schema of the spell in their schema book -- for spells gained from multi-classing, however, this does not go both ways. They may not use Spell Schema's they've learned as spells and cast them through the use of spell slots.

Additionally, Whenever another creature casts a spell (and is within your schema level range), as a reaction you can make an Arcane (Intelligence) check against the caster's spell DC. If successful you remember the details of the spell and can add it to your schema book. You can only hold onto one spell until you've copied it, and you are must maintain concentration to hold the spell schema in memory until the copying is completed. Copying Schemas costs 20gp and 1 hour per spell slot (though some infusions may reduce that time).

When starting off as an Artificer you start with 2 + Intelligence ability modifier spell slot levels of schemas in your schema book. Those schemas must be of a level no greater than your Proficiency bonus (Cantrips count as 1 spell slot.)

Infusion Formulae

Formulae are essentially the pattern and plan of the infusion for the Artificer. A formulae often requires specific schemas and materials which are either used up, may be recovered, or are now forever part of the object being infused.

As a general rule, if the DM allows for Artificers to develop/research additional Formulae it is suggested to use the DMG guidance for magic item creation with the value of 1,000gp cost per infusion point.

Infusion Points

You are limited to certain amount of mystical energy you draw upon each day. This is referred to as your Infusion points. You maximum Infusion points are equal to the Points listed in the table above for your level. At the dawn of each day your used infusion points are restored.¹ In general, Infusions maintain themselves for 24 hours, or until the Dawn of the next day. You may never have unexpended Infusion Points that exceeds the Maximum Infusions points for your level plus your Intelligence modifier.

Creating an Infusion costs a number of Infusion Points, as noted in the Infusion's description, and also costs materials (also noted in the Infusion's Descriptions). When an item is under the effect of an Infusion, that item is considered magical for the purposes of Detect Magic, Identify and Dispel Magic, but unless the infusion states otherwise, NOT for purposes of overcoming damage resistances. The total number of Infusion Points invested in a single item or Automaton cannot exceed the caster's Infusion Maximum. [This is a clarification for when multiple Artificers are working together on a single item]
