Arcane spells are primarily offensive in nature. They comprise both touch and ranged attacks that run the gamut from spells that inflict minor damage like Freezing Touch and Magic Missile, to those that inflict massive damage to multiple targets, like Fire Nova and Cataclysm.
There are nine levels of mastery in the Arcane arts. Spells in this school of magic are found in spell books that contain one or more charges (uses). Acquiring the first spellbook of a given type gives the character access to that Arcane spell, while further spellbooks of that type increase the maximum charges of that spell a character can hold.
Arcane spell charges regenerate over time. This process can be accelerated with the Scribe skill or by camping near a fire.
