The Arcanist can use [Steam](Steam.md) to empower their spells as if they were powering a device. A spell empowered this way has an augment of the Arcanist’s choice applied to that spell.
In addition, the spell is [ascended](Prism%20Spells.md#Spell%20Ascension) a number of spell levels equal to the Arcanist's [Cunning](Cunning.md), [Initiative](Initiative.md) or [Tenacity](Tenacity.md). This cannot go above the spell level the caster is capable of casting.
