The upgrade to the shield would take a couple of days, and he'd be able to commission a crafting of the spellpage, which would take just about as long.<br/><br/>Integrating his pistol into the rifle's base design would allow him to increase both the range and the damage (Range increased to 100, base damage increased from 2d6+1 to 3d6). He could also choose to add an extra perk; give it the full-auto upgrade, add an 'overcharge' shot option (single shot, full round action, deals double base damage (6d6), but consumes three charges), increase the capacity by 5, or add an additional element (electric, but each shot of that type consumes 2 charges).
