Arcana

Arcana represents knowledge of arcane magic theory, magical traditions, and spellcasting principles. It governs understanding of spells, magical items, constructs, and arcane phenomena.

Untrained actions:

• Recall Knowledge: Identify a creature with the arcane or magical trait, remember a fact about arcane spells, or recall details about constructs and magical phenomena.

Trained actions:

• Identify Magic: Spend 10 minutes examining a magical item or ongoing spell to determine its properties. Failure means you cannot try again until you gain more information.
• Learn a Spell (Arcane): Copy an arcane spell from a scroll or spellbook into your own spellbook.
• Decipher Writing: Decode arcane writing, magical symbols, or coded messages about magical subjects.

Critical Success on Recall Knowledge: You recall precise and detailed information, including weaknesses or special properties.

Critical Failure on Recall Knowledge: You misremember — the GM provides false information.
