Arrow, uncommon
This magic arrow is infused with Aether, an alchemical composite made with pure arcane energy. Aether is a primordial form of energy ancient and powerful. It can only be found in places blessed by the God of Magic or in settings exposed to such powerful magic effects it affected the very environment. Alchemists can attempt to prepare an imitation of Aether they call Eather. If you are proficient with Alchemist Tools, you can spend ten days of work and 500GP worth of materials to craft one bottle of Eather.
When you cast a cantrip while holding this magic weapon you can choose to store it within the arrow. The cantrip must target a single creature. The cantrip being stored has no immediate effect when cast in this way. When this arrow hits a target, the stored cantrip is cast. If the cantrip requires concentration, it lasts until the end of its full duration. If the cantrip requires an attack roll against the target it automatically succeeds.
When the cantrip stored in the arrow is cast, the Aether in it dissipates and it becomes a nonmagical arrow. You can expend an action to recharge the arrow with Aether, or half a bottle of Eather. Once recharged, you can infuse the arrow with a new cantrip.
