• Available Races - Humans, Goblins, Bolinaus, and Vukasins.
  
  
• Available Religions - Arcanists can only follow the God of Shadows, Itzal.
  
  
• Class Specific Abilities - Knowledgeable enough to learn spells simply by observing their usage, although, lacking any innate power, they forget them as soon as they are used. The rest of their magic centers around enchantments such as giving magical powers to weapons, armor, wands, and scrolls. They also have the ability to mend and repair items.

Arcanists are the result of limited magical training during the Light and Shadow Wars. Itzal wished to teach his army his new shadow magic, but started with the absolute basics that he felt would benefit his army as a whole. Before he could teach them anything elemental based the world was shattered. An arcanist's magic is often referred to as "Itzal's Shame." Part of the agreement that made Itzal a god was that this limited magic would only be available to his followers, and they'd never be allowed to extend beyond it to the other elemental based magics.
