Arcanist

The High Elf viewed the hall he used to study at with remorse for what he was about to do, the weight of his ritual book weighing heavy in his bag. Memories of his colleagues ostracizing him for his arbitrarily forbidden research soon flooded back, and his resolve burned. Soon, so too did the building as explosions occurred wherever he pointed his finger.

The silver Dragonborn shivered in fear. Her soul had just been invaded and altered by a djinn of the storm. This was not what she had envisioned with her wish for power. Deciding to make the best of it, she stands and raises a sparking claw to her face, smirking at the storm now trapped within her.

Power Sealed Within Arcanists—regardless how—have found themselves with magical power sealed within them. Unlike Sorcerers, who have an innate connection to the Weave that allows them to cast spells, Arcanists tap into nothing but themselves to access their powers. This leads to effortless spellcasting, although their repertoire is severely limited.

Arcane Symbology The process of sealing magic within a person leaves them with lasting marks on their skin. For some, these marks were placed on their bodies by themselves in a special ritual, while for others, the marks were the result of a powerful being tampering with their soul. For the intentional Arcanist, learning the proper marks to make leads to the careful crafting of wax stamps. For the Arcanist that did not desire the transformation, the inevitable research of the symbols blemishing their features leads to an understanding of the creation of wax seals. Because of this, nearly all Arcanists are skilled forgers by association.
