[Variant] Chaos Shooter (Patreon)

(Any firearm), uncommon (requires attunement)

This magic pistol ignores the loading property. It produces its own ammunition when you make a ranged attack with it, the ammunition deals force damage instead of bludgeoning and vanishes the instant after it hits or misses a target.

This magic weapon 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.

As a bonus action, you can expend one charge of this weapon to activate the Aether magazine for 1 minute. When you do, choose an element within Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or thunder. Every time you hit a creature with this magic weapon while the Aether is activated, the target takes an extra 1d6 elemental damage of the chosen type.

The Aether Magazine has two charges. You can expend an action to recharge this magic pistol with Aether, or a bottle of Eather.
