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)	The Taste of Magic	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.
		Arcane Autopsy	Identify the type of magic responsible, including its spell school, damage type, and approximate power.
		Magical Vandalism	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)	Unravel the Casting	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.
		Arcane Cartographer	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.
		The Unraveler	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)	Nothing Minor	The effect is one grade stronger, with additional uses to match. If it is already at maximum grade, it gains one extra use instead.
		Overflow	There is a 25% chance that the effect is roughly 50% stronger, increasing its power, area, or duration as appropriate to that effect.
		Spare Charge	There is a 30% chance that the activation consumes no charge.
