This wing of the library is currently under construction. Please excuse our pixie dust.
Arcane magic is the study of magic itself. Rather than drawing power from flame, frost, shadow, or other specialized forces, practitioners learn to manipulate raw magical energy and the rules that govern it. The result is one of the broadest and most versatile disciplines in the Grand Grimoire—capable of manipulating creatures and objects, bending space, disrupting other spells, and occasionally doing something spectacularly irresponsible with the fabric of magic.
Looking for the rules?
Rules for the Arcane College, including our complete spell system, can be found in the Heroes Guidebook and Primal Forces.
Both are available now on DriveThruRPG.
All of our spells use our Grimoire card back.
The Arcane Archives - Upgrade Pack
Some spells are simply too useful to leave buried in the past! The Arcane Archives contains 10 classic proxy spells excavated from the 1990s and restored to service for a new generation of questing. Each preserves the spirit of its original counterpart while adapting it to the modern Grand Grimoire and Arcane College rules.

Updated and formatted for the modern Book of Arcana.
Designed for use with the current Arcane College spell system.
Book of Arcana Booster Pack
The Book of Arcana Booster Pack expands the Grand Grimoire with 18 spells dedicated to the arcane discipline.

16 brand-new Arcana spells
1 classic proxy spell, restored and updated for Advanced Armory.
1 revised Archmage spell brought over from The Dreadening collection.
