The Way of the Arcanist monks train with the uses of magic and learn how to counteract them at all points. With time and training, any Arcanist can master the manipulation of magic in all forms. Arcanist training allows one to become aware of magic around them, shutdown magical effects, and the ability to cast spells. With more training, Arcanists learn to use excess magics from powerful abilities and spells to harm their opponents more. Advanced members seeking better protection can use materials around them to change their physical bodies to suit their needs. A master Arcanist can use the Ki in their body to replicate an ability or spell they have seen or felt before.
