Artificer

"Although it's true that powerful items are works of incomparable beauty, so too can a tiger be thought of as lovely or the appearance of a dragon inspire awe. And like those beasts, such items should not be loosed upon children."
==Introduction to the Artificer==
One of the most, if not the most practical application of spellcraft is imbuing everyday items with the eternal fire of magic. Every arcanist on Azeroth is likely to create a few simple minor items over the course of their lives: potions, wardstones, everburning candles or magical dyes. Simple items created for convenience or to slightly supplement the maker's income.
Artificers are casters who elevate itemmaking to the status of an art. They channel energy into items using magical components, diagrams, and complex chains of sigils. Their skills let them assemble magic devices of power and complexity.
As an artificer, you might be a formal student of magic who became interested in artifacts and arcane items. Alternatively, you could be a tinkerer who devised magic tools in a musty basement. Or perhaps you are an explorer who found your knowledge in the forgotten places of the world. Whatever the source of your talents, a passion for the magic in your hand drives you to perfect your art.
==The path of the Artificer==
Becoming an artificer requires little hardline training, one only needs to learn the right spells and formulas for the infusion of mystic power into mundane objects. Then the stepping stones begin: a fledgeling artificer must always keep an eye out for rare reagents necessary to practice the craft and seek opportunities for employment.
==Suggested representative classes==
Any class with full spellcasting qualifies, with each focusing on different types of items.
*Mages and Warlocks have the broadest focus, crafting items for personal use and for profit.
*Priests craft holy relics to smite the enemies of the faith and protect the believers.
*Shamans and Druids are somewhat rare, but focus on totems, fetishes and charms.
