Homebrew Arcana Technician Species Details
"It floated though vast miasmas of magical force, drifting places that no living thing dared attempt existing. Deep within the elemental chaos of the Inner planes. Simply studing the flow of Arcana, without fear, without judgment. The Arcana Technicians exist in a world of their own, one never truly knows what they are thinking or even seeing."
Spell Technicians are beings of living stone. Made of a special material known as Arcanite that acts as conduit connecting them to the weave and allowing them to cast unique spells and giving them a huge pool of magic power.
Small Body Big Minds
Spell Technicians stand around 4 foot, they have hard obsidian skin animated by a core of glowing Arcanite. They have vast intellect and very high constitution. They either lack the ability to lie or see no point in it. Very serious creatures often lost in thought, they rarely joke and show very little emotion outside of their love of discovery.
A Timeless Perspective
Spell Technicians can live well over 2000 years, giving them a broad perspective on the interplay between magic and society. They see most races as fleeting temporary expressions of the Arcana. They are highly religious and worship a plane of magic unknown to petty mortals. They believe that magic originates in a plane that permeates all things known as the Warp Flux. They believe themselves manifestations of a holy intellect that is in the process of analyzing itself.
The Warp Fluxes Influence
Different locations are thought to have different connections to the warp flux, They are searching Fearun for a Spell Forge Node. A holy node of power which they can harness to alter the very properties of reality. They wish to ascend via the spell forge into the Warp Flux. Although they are a peaceful race many scholars theorize that a side effect of thier accension will be the annihilation of this plane of existence.
