Animal Taming

Spellweaving

Spellweaving is the spellcasting skill of an Arcanist, it is markedly different from magery. The arcanist is able to summon powerful forces of nature and manifest them into various spell effects. To attain the full power of his art the Arcanist must work in concert with others to cast an ‘arcane focus’. This need for co-operative effort is one of the features which sets Spellweaving apart from other spellcasting schools.  An Arcanist having the Spellweaving Mastery active is able to cast a lesser focus alone. The first difference you will encounter is the inability to select spellweaving as a starting […]
