Arcane Weaponry is a Sorcery-based ability that allows for the character to use special moves with the staff, chakrams, and sceptre that enhance combat moves like charges, blocks, and parries.

There are three levels for each rank of Arcane Weaponry. The first of each unlocks the new attacks and decreases the mana cost of Sceptre attacks, the second level adds a damage over time effect to the attacks, and the third level generates additional Fate when using the attacks.
