The Arcana skill (formerly known as Magical Devices) represents the character's academic knowledge of the concepts of magic. While some applications of this knowledge still requires Attunement (for example, memorizing a spell scroll), the skill itself is purely knowledge based and does not presume any magical talent on the character's part. As such, most NMUs can freely learn and teach it. While the NMU uses of Arcana will be slowly opened to Barbarians in the coming months, please note that as an expression of your guild disadvantage, you may face penalties for being versed in Arcana.
Knowledge of Arcana allows the user to manipulate items imbued with magical energy, such as cambrinth, runestones, constellation jewelry, and wands. Other devices may be found in the Magical Items category.1
Training
- 0-~40 ranks - TAPping a carved sandalwood fan works well at low ranks.
- 0-50 ranks - Runestones can be focused repeatedly to high experience per action gain.
- 50+ ranks - Cambrinth is the main Arcana trainer after 50 ranks. For best practices see the Cambrinth page.
- INVOKEing a spell scroll provides a large amount of Arcana experience.
- STUDYing a spell scroll provides an extremely large amount of Arcana experience.
