Infusions
The following is a list of infusions available to spellwrights. You automatically know all infusions for levels that you have access to. Some infusions mimic spell effects. These infusions always take a standard action to cast even if the standard spell says otherwise. Some infusions take effect immediately (on casting). Others take effect when the infused item is interacted with in some way (e.g. worn). Others are triggered by other conditions. These are all listed in the trigger field. The duration field indicates when the infusion itself wears off. Sometimes infusions are "permanent." These last until the infusion is dispelled, dismissed, or until you die. Others have limited durations. Unless explicitly sated, Infusions don't require concentration to maintain their duration.

On their turn, a stuck opponent may attempt to free themselves from the field by making a successful grapple check. You use the spellwright's spell attack to oppose this check. While blade snare is active, you may make melee attacks and cast spells as normal, though you may not make ranged weapon attacks; the magic field thwarts such attacks. You may not snare more than one limb or weapon in the field at a time. If you already have an opponent's weapon or limb stuck in the field and you are hit by a second melee attack, you must choose which weapon or limb to snare.

This allows you to switch an object in plain view of others, or to switch them secretly when making a sleight of hand check. Actively examining the fake with an Appraisal or Perception check grants a creature an INT save, but on a failed saving throw, it concludes that the fake is the genuine article. The illusion isn't a functional item.
