Arcane arts

The arcane arts are described as the study of understanding, manipulating, or creating effects in the physical world through the use of the modus. This can be achieved in a variety of ways, always involving the use of mental acuity and discipline to develop and project supernatural effects. As such, the arcane arts are sometimes referred to as magic. A practitioner of the arcane arts is called an arcanist.

Model
The mechanics behind arcane arts involve a sentient being controlling its presence in the modus, the so-called 'realm of the soul'. By achieving an especially concentrated, disciplined mental state, an arcanist can expand their influence in the modus outside of their metaphysical being. With careful practise, this ability can be used to create a transitional presence, which can create material effects in the praxis (real world). Therefore, the arcane arts can best be understood as the use of the mind to alter the reality around oneself.
