An arcane builder is one of the builders of the arcane world, second only to the dwarven artificer, assembling magic items with facility, skill, and power. He is intimately familiar with the craft and practice of imbuing items with arcane power, and works with precision even early in his career to help create some of the most powerful magic items.

CLASS ABILITIES
Craft Reserve (Ex): You receive a pool of points you can spend instead of experience points when crafting
a magic item. Each time you gain a new level, you receive a new craft reserve of 20 points per wizard level; leftover points from the previous level do not carry over. If the points are not spent, they are lost. You can also use this craft reserve to
supplement the xp cost of the item you are making, taking a portion of the cost from his craft reserve and a portion from your own xp.
Metacharge (Ex): At 3rd-level, you gain a bonus feat which must be an item creation feat or metamagic feat. You must still meet all the prerequisites for a bonus feat, including caster level minimums. When using metamagic feats to create magic items, your skill and understanding of the principles involved in the item's creation give you a +2 bonus on the skill check made to create the item.
