Guide Part 11: Arcane Spells

Discovering Cosmic Secrets - Magic in Summoners Fate
Summoners Fate explores existential themes including fate vs. freewill, eternity, and the magic of cosmic motion - a force that drives creation and brings forth being from nonbeing. The five primal magic types in Summoners Fate each represent an emanation of this creative force along a spectrum from the infinite potential of nonbeing to the manifestation of the physical universe.
In Part 11 of our Guide to Summoners Fate, we'll begin by examining the fourth primal magic: Arcane.
Arcane Spells
Divisions of thought create reality…With Celestial magic establishing order and time, the fundamental forces that define reality could took shape. Arcane magic defines the laws of physical reality and consciousness through gravity, matter and psychic energy.

In the world of Summoners Fate, an order of wizards and scholars have devoted themselves to the study of this magic at the Academy of Arcane Arts. The earliest of these scholars discovered relics of texts and technology left behind by an ancient race scattered across the world. Through meticulous study of these relics, the Arcane scholars have unlocked secrets about the fabric of reality. With their practice of Arcane magic, they cultivate a superior ability to manipulate their surroundings and even control the thoughts of others.

Arcane magic players gain dominance through clever manipulations of the environment and controlling the flow of battle with surprise cards and using their opponent's strengths against them. Arcane spells include abilities such as the manipulation of gravity, creation of forcefields, psychic attacks, and control of positioning on the board.
