Upgrades
Upgrades are enhancements made to your held/worn objects. You can be assumed to have applied any upgrades you have selected to any appropriate item you are using after at least a short rest since acquiring the item.
Each slot can only hold one upgrade (per Artificer rank) at a time. You are allowed to know more upgrades than you have slots for, but you can only apply as many as you have slots for.

Servitors
You can have one servitor active at a time. If you have more than one, they begin to act on their own, and may even turn hostile.
It is a swift action to give your servitor a simple command (move here, attack that, deliver this item to that person, etc). They act on your turn in combat. By default, they use hearing to understand your commands; assume they understand your language.
