Jude's learning Artificing from Asteria. This is losely based on her ability:

Artificing: Asteria’s preferred trade and main method of financial gain, she is a master artificer (magical tinkerer). Asteria is able to create magical items as long as she has an object and knows the magical effect that is wanted to be applied on it. The less complex the magic effect is, the easier it is to create. For example, giving a glass orb the ability to flicker with different color lights is easier than making an umbrella that holds itself over its owner while they walk in the rain. She will take commissions for just about anything as long as it is in the realm of possibility, but her prices can fluctuate wildly depending on whether she likes you or not. Imbuing spells requires her to make a magic seal then bind it to the item she is artificing. However, if she does not know the exact effect that she is attempting to imbue, she will often combine magic theories into something similar to the desired effect.

Artificing: Jude is capable of producing magical items or imbuing a magical effect upon an existing item. The longer a description of the required effect would be, the more difficult it generally is to produce. The other factor is permanence. Imbuing an effect that is only temporary and will wear off is far easier than making an effect that's intended to be permanent. Artificing is time consuming and exhausting. Even a simple temporary enchantment would take at least an hour to do, and producing anything complex is exhausting enough that Jude has to sleep afterwards to recover.

I'd like to reword, because I realized a better way to do it:

Artificing: Jude is capable of producing magical items or imbuing a magical effect upon an existing item. The more complex and powerful an effect, the more difficult it is to produce. The other factor is permanence. Temporary effects are easier to produce than permanent ones. Creating an artifact from scratch makes getting a desired effect much easier than imbuing an item after the fact. Even a simple temporary enchantment would take at least an hour to do, and producing anything complex is exhausting enough that Jude has to sleep afterwards to recover.

I thought I claimed this, but I never did.

Seven posts where Jude practices some artificing with Smokey, getting their help in testing an enchantment.

Two Posts where Jude has enchanted about thirty freaking rugs.[/url]

One post where Jude mentions his secret santa gift was a failed artificing experiment.
