Arcane Mysteries of Barsaive

Arcane Mysteries of Barsaive is a supplement in which magic is expanded extensively, as a companion to Magic: A Manual of Mystic Secrets. Organized into three distinct sections—Spells, Talent Knacks, and Magical Items—it delivers an array of options for players. The Spells section introduces over 200 new enchantments distributed among the four Disciplines: Elementalist, Illusionist, Nethermancer, and Wizard. Notably, it includes the first officially published spells of Circle 13 and beyond, along with enhancements to the concept of Named Spells. Talent Knacks receive a major expansion. With more than 70 new Knacks, players can improve their existing Talents to yield new effects—from Matched Weapons for dual-wielding adepts to By the Fingernails, offering Scouts a desperate last grab in failed climbs. The book also outlines custom Knack creation. The section on Magical Items offers a wide range of additions, from minor comfort-enhancing charms like temperature-regulating bedrolls to formidable artifacts such as the sword Truefang.^[1]
