I don't understand how this mechanic works. The Weird Science Inventions columns seem to indicate that the Artificer has a number of inventions 'by level', but in the Weird Science section I don't see any reference to limits on how many inventions an Artificer can create.
Does this table mean that a level 3 Artificer has no more than 3 inventions? Two that each emulate a 1st level spell, and one that emulates a 2nd level spell?
If so, does it follow that a 3rd level Artificer could instead have only a single invention, that emulates two 1st level spells and a 2nd level spell simultaneously on activation? Or two investions, one that does both a 1st and 2nd, and a second that just emulates a 1st?
Or am I misinterpreting how this mechanic is supposed to work entirely?
Additionally, does a high INT score effect these inventions by level the same as other classes' spells by level?

They are not spell casters so they do not get the bonus.
The chart shows the number of spells in any number of inventions so the 3rd level artificer can have one invention with three spells but at the consequence of failing quicker or the artificer has 3 inventions of two 1st level and one 2nd level spell.

Therefore at 20th level, an artificer can have one invention with five level-1, 2, 3, and 4 spells. it takes 200 hours to make (about 1 and 1/2 weeks non-stop) and it needs the use device skill after 11 uses and requires a DC45 use device for all of those spells used at once. any of those failing completely ruins the device.
