Acceptable Arcanoi
Arcanoi
Death opens the door to things unknowable by the living. A wraith is Fettered and limited, but also holds great potential to change herself or her surroundings. Those who know, can unravel the secrets of death, find themselves capable of strang powers called Arcanoi.
Arcanoi are secrets that can be either learned at the foot of another or acquired through experience. They are ways of using a wraith's spiritual being to alter other aspects of the Underworld, or in some cases the Skinlands. In many ways, an Arcanos is as much a philosophy as a craft, made of equal parts viewpoint and skill. Most wraiths demonstrate aptitude for one or two Arcanoi immediately upon their rebirth, and quickly learn the first few powers, or arts, of those Arcanoi. In game terms the higher the art level (represented by the number of • characters before its listing), the higher its cost is likely to be, the more difficult it is to learn, and the more powerful it is.
