A schematic scanner is a complex brass device featuring multiple mounted lenses, clamps, and apertures. A schematic scanner can hold the formulas for items as if it were a formula book with unlimited capacity. You can add a formula to the schematic scanner using the Store Schematics activation. A schematic scanner grants you a +2 item bonus to Crafting checks to craft an item whose formula is stored in the schematic scanner.


Activate—Store Schematics 3 (manipulate)

You place the written formula for an item into the schematic scanner and view it through the mounted lenses, magically storing a copy of the formula inside the schematic scanner.


Activate—Reverse Engineer Schematics (manipulate)

You place an item in front of the schematic scanner, then view the item through the mounted lenses, magically learning the formula for the targeted item, without disassembling or causing harm to the item, and storing the formula in the schematic scanner. Reverse engineering a formula in this way takes 10 minutes and doesn't cost any gold.


Trait Effects

Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
