Small-Town Crafter

Lewis sets out on his own into the world, seeking an apprenticeship in an interesting profession. What he doesn't expect is to find himself studying artificery — the mystical craft of adding magical effects to everyday objects. He'll learn to make swords with self-sharpening blades, bows that fire by themselves, and clocks that can read the future, all in the sunlit village of Sunhampton. It'll be hard work, perhaps even dangerous, but with an old artificery master to teach him and new friends to help him, he's sure he'll get there.

Lewis has passed his artificery apprenticeship, but his work isn't done. Many projects, dozens of skills, and a lifetime of magical studies lie before him. He's crafting self-spicing cooking pots, backpacks with endless storage, and farm plows that do all the work by themselves. With his old master to guide him and his best friends at his side, Lewis pushes toward ultimate mastery of his craft in the cozy town of Sunhampton.

Lewis is no longer a mere apprentice. Through hard work, failures, and triumphs he has risen in the artificery ranks — but his journey is only just beginning. When a mysterious customer asks him to create an even more mysterious item, his talents are stretched thin. With mentors to guide him, friends to help him, and his own never-say-die attitude, Lewis presses on toward mastery in the cozy town of Sunhampton.

With his newly-earned adept status, Lewis delves into deeper secrets of artificery. When a customer arrives at his new shop with a mysterious request, he finds himself immersed in his most intriguing artificery project yet. It's going to push his crafting skills to their very limits, but with seasoned crafters beside him, loyal friends behind him, and his unwavering passion driving him forward, he's up to the task.

Lewis tends to Sunhampton's artificery needs from his own workshop — fixing self-spicing stewpots, tinkering with clockwork cleaning systems, and taking on the occasional unusual job. Can he fix up the old house by the river and make it livable again? And what about the waterwheel at the lumbermill, which mysteriously stopped turning one day? No answer is easy, no job is straightforward. But with master crafters to guide him and loyal friends at his side, Lewis will get to the bottom of it.

Lewis is working a routine job at Sunhampton School when he stumbles upon old enchantments in the basement — enchantments that confound even an adept-ranked artificer and will need creative thought and clever use of skills to break. With more enchantment and disenchantment riddles than he can keep up with, and the next ranking in his artificery class within reach, how quickly can he solve them all?

Just when Lewis thought he was mastering his artificery craft, a mysterious smith arrives in Sunhampton. With secrets of forgotten crafts, ambitious artificery projects, and just a hint of trouble, this stranger will push Lewis's skills — and patience — to their limits.
