Arcana is a Intelligence skill.
What it covers
Understand, identify, analyze, decipher, and recall magic: spells, enchantments, magical items, runes, planes, magical theory, and arcane creatures. Arcana also governs the crafting of new magical items from real materials at a workspace. Casting spells grants Arcana experience when you spend an action, spell slot, charge or use, with more experience awarded for higher spell ranks.
Progression
| Level | Unlock | Feat | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Novice feat choice (pick one) | Learn whether the magic is beneficial, harmful, or neutral and receive a general emotional impression of its nature. Cursed items give an impression of hunger. This does not reveal complete mechanics. | |
| Identify the type of magic responsible, including its spell school, damage type, and approximate power. | |||
| Add +2 to the Arcana check. Success causes an unpredictable magical failure rather than a clean dispel. | |||
| 3 | Passive bonus | Storm resistance bonus | |
| 4 | Mastery bonus | +1 to Arcana rolls | |
| 6 | Apprentice feat choice (pick one) | Identify the magic's school, trigger, and weakness as it is used. Allies who hear your warning can brace against the named effect, reducing, resisting, or avoiding it. | |
| Automatically sense the presence, location, and nature of active magical effects within 30 feet. Focus on a source to learn its school and likely trigger. | |||
| Make an Arcana check against the effect. On success, end one mind-affecting magical effect on the ally. | |||
| 7 | Passive bonus | Fire resistance bonus | |
| 8 | Mastery bonus | +1 to Arcana rolls | |
| 10 | Adept feat choice (pick one) | The effect is one grade stronger, with additional uses to match. If it is already at maximum grade, it gains one extra use instead. | |
| There is a 25% chance that the effect is roughly 50% stronger, increasing its power, area, or duration as appropriate to that effect. | |||
| There is a 30% chance that the activation consumes no charge. | |||
| 11 | Passive bonus | Frost resistance bonus | |
