I recently had some strange ideas regarding Cipher Swords (from GPG #3)
1. Can a 10th level Artificer make a Schematic of the (very rare) weapon and then create Infusions of them?
2. If so, does someone who was given one of those Infusion Cipher Swords (ICS) lose the gained mastery levels if the Artificer doesn't maintain the Infusion?
The ICS would then be a normal sword again and therefore the Attunement would vanish.
("If you ever willingly end your attunement to this weapon, you take 8 (4d4) psychic damage that cannot be negated or reduced and lose all mastery you’ve gained.")
But since the recipient of the ICS didn't voluntarily end the Attunement, would the above clause be applicable?
And now for the maybe weirdest thought:
3. Can a Pact of the Blade Warlock with an ICS make it his Pact Weapon? Since the Pact Weapon always exists (even if in some other dimension when he sends it away) it should be able to be maintained by the Artificer. The limitations (or disadvantage on attacks with other weapons) probably wouldn't matter that much to the Warlock and since A5E Warlocks can also be Int-based they may be able to gain mastery levels easier than the usual martial classes.
Just wondering...
What do you think?
