I might even say give it custom cantrips that work in concert with multiattack for imbuing spells, though that's probably better as a class ability. Looking at the Artificer Infusions it seems like a lot of things that they do are just cool things that a magical swordsman could do using their supernatural skill. Upside is you don't need an item, downside is you can only use on self, not an ally. Examples:Armor that replaces limbs.Increased speed.Increased Strength.Bonus action Teleportation.Bonus to spell attack rolls.Ability to ignore cover.Bonus to weapon attack rolls. Bonus to AC.Advantage on Initiative.Cannot be surprised.Increased CON.Weapon produces light.You have a friendly homonculus.Ignore the loading property.Weapon creates its own magical ammunition.Shield pushes back enemies.Resistance to a damage type.A thrown weapon returns to your hand after being thrown.Looks like a bunch of cool magic warrior stuff to me as long as it's decoupled from being based on having a magic item.</blockquote>
