Arc welders were tools intended for welding metal using electricity, but in the hands of an artificer they functioned as rune arms. More potent versions, simply known as legendary arc welders, were also known.[1]
Description[]
Arc welders consisted of a main device and separate power-supply materials that connected to a slot on the back.[1]
Powers[]
Depending on the make, arc welders could either discharge a wide field or a single long beam of electricity. In addition, they passively increased the potency of a wielder's electricity-based spells and electrified their other weapons.[1]
Arc welders also made it easier for their wielders to stun or trip opponents, as well as get through opponents' armor.[1]
As arc welders didn't need their power-supply materials in order to function in the hands of artificers, these slots could be used for attaching augments instead.[1]
History[]
Prototype arc welders were found in and around the mines of Tethyamar around the Year of the Ageless One, 1479 DR.[1]
Reputation[]
It was recommended that various safety precautions be taken when operating arc welders, including but not limited to avoiding looking directly into the aperture, not pointing the welder at non-metal apparatuses while powered, keeping the device out of water, not attempting to disassemble the device or power-supply materials, and wearing safety goggles when operating the welder.[1]
