Before elves, dwarves or humans, there were the elements. Still the elements are present in Isilendor and many have the power to harness them. The Arcane Arts is your key to unlocking your ability to use magic of the physical world.

Discover the magical communities such as the Mage's Manse or Arcana Arena. Figure out what magic means to you. Will you burn and freeze your enemies? Or cast a guiding light for those lost along the way? Perhaps you prefer to hit the books, and uncover the hidden mysterious of the arcane. For some, it will merely be a gateway to the Divine or Dark...

At the end of the course you will be able to acquire The Arcane Arts Mastery Certificate.
This certificate adds bonus attack points to Arcane spells during combat events.
