Guide Part 11: Arcane Spells

Arcane magic can manipulate gravity and space, giving ultimate control of positioning on the battlefield.


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.

1. Void
2. Chaos
3. Celestial

5. Nature
   

In Part 11 of our Guide to Summoners Fate, we'll begin by examining the fourth primal magic: Arcane.

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.

Use Arcane spells to toy with the minds of your opponents and send them to the breaking point of madness by using their own units and spells against them.

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 offers players the greatest control over their cards and the battlefield itself. It takes special finesse to play these spells effectively.

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.
