Common Field Clarifications
Warlocks count as half casters.
Artificer Infusions are part of their casting tax and do NOT reduce their AP Load Limit. Any permanent items that they create and bring with DO count.
Multiclass: use the highest bracket you qualify for, do NOT stack.
Magic Initiate / Fey Touched type feats: +1 AP if they grant slots.
Cantrip-only feats: 0 AP.
Potions/Scrolls count as half AP of permanents of the same level.
Failure to adhere to load limits risks breach cascade, timeline blowback, or timeline feed inversion.
