At 10th level, whenever you dispel a magical effect from a
creature, you destroy 1 point of mana per spell level, dealing
2 arcane damage (as the Mana Burn spell). If you dispel an
effect from an ally, you may direct the mana-burning effect to
any hostile creature within 30 feet of you (though in this
case they are entitled a Spirit saving throw).

You may also cast Dispel Magic (as per Abjuring Knight)

items close to them in a 5-foot radius sphere.

Trap Launcher. This heavy machine can lob a trap to up
to 90 feet, priming the trap on the point of impact. The trap
launcher may be loaded with up to eight pints of oil, and may
be used again after a cooldown of one minute.

Wagon Clamp. This trap clamps down on the triggering
creature or vehicle for one minute, dealing 1d8 piercing
damage to the wheel (possibly breaking it). While captured,
the target is restrained. A successful Stamina save by the
vehicle or creature halves the damage dealt and reduces the
restraint for one round. A creature may use its action to
open the clamp. Most wooden wheels have 5 (2d4) hit
points. This costs 10 gp, weighs 1 lb., and requires 2 EP.
This is usually used to destroy vehicle wheels, but can be
employed as bear traps.

Water Gun. The water pump is a 2-foot long, 8-inch thick
cylinder that can hold up to 3 gallons of any liquid (or 16
quarts). The water pump can be used with an action to
release one quart of liquid in a line up to 90 feet away,
stopping at impact with the first object. The target must
succeed on an Agility saving throw or else take 1d8
bludgeoning damage on a failed save and a secondary effect
depending on the liquid. A successful save halves the initial
damage and negates the secondary effect.

• Water. If the liquid is water, attack also extinguishes
flames. Fire-based creatures or those vulnerable to water
take double damage from this and do not employ any
resistances towards this damage.

• Oil. If the liquid is oil or another flammable liquid, the user

who failed their save take 1d6 fire damage and are ignited

damage per round until they pass a DC equal to the
gadget's DC).

• Contaminated Water. If the liquid is a contaminated water
or liquid (such as sewage water), the target must also save
versus any contact, injury, or ingested poison or disease
that is carried by the water. If using sewage water, the
target is most likely to be contaminated by Crypt Fever,
Filth Fever, Slimy Doom, and Blinding Sickness (see

GATHERING SKILLS

Any skill that reasonably allows for the identification,
collection, and preservation of raw materials may be used to
gather raw materials. These raw materials have a value that
may be declared after the check is finished. Any resource-
rich area may be considered a resource node that may be
used to harvest raw materials from harvesting nodes, from
on the field, or from special monsters.

Gathering skills provides crafting points (CP), useable for
alchemy (AP), engineering (EP), Infusion (IP), or other skills.
Crafting potions consumes alchemy points (usually in the
form of herbs, creature body parts, etc.), while engineering
consumes minerals, wires, etc.

VEHICLES

Vehicles that move without their own power (such as being
pushed or dragged by muscle or wind) are not constructs at
all, and are treated as normal vehicles in the Dungeon

constructs must also be driven this way.

Engines may be added to a non-construct vehicle or siege
weapon, altering its speed and reducing the crew required to
move it. Engines are considered gadgets.
