Arcane magic

Arcane magic is the mental approach to magic. It is mainly used by mortals known as arcanists. It is not really compatible with other aspects of magic as it mainly works in a ritualistic way but its methods can be applied to Faith and other ritualistic approaches. Its existence is well-known and most arcanists become famous.

Origine

This aspect of magic was discovered and scientifically researched by Vìssna, God of Knowledge, in an effort to understand magic as a whole (Magic). It can be considered as a natural power whose intensity and existence depend on nothing except itself. Magic with passive force can be considered as an inexhaustible torrent whose current cannot be controlled but from which channels can be dug to draw on this magic. The width of the canals would symbolize the power necessary to accomplish the goal for which the canals were dug.

Source

Arcane magic takes its energy directly from the magic permeating the user's surroundings. The latter can harness this energy thanks to ley lines, rituals and calculations. It means they use an inert, natural and external source since the environment doesn't actively produce magic but can naturally store it.

This source is however of variable power according to time and location, containing a lot of magic which can either be hard to make use of, when there is too little for a spell, or be hard to control, when there is too much. It can still be wielded seemingly infinitely as the source is substantial and users can't take too much magic from it at a time.
