Arcane Arts
"The Arcane has transformed the Cosmic Tide as we know it. It created a reality of wonder and near limitless possibilities - And horrors beyond comprehension."
Arguably one of the most important phenomenon's within the Sky River, and possibly the entire Cosmic Tide, the Arcane, also known as the Arcane Arts, are the names given to Taekni and Traits. As the two are heavily linked into one another, they are considered to be two different manifestations of the same phenomenon - Neither entirely separate, nor totally integrated with one another.
Both are considered to be 'Arcane' - But the link between the two of them is an academic one. Most believe that Traits are the result of Taekni and the Broadwave impacting evolution among the various Kinde that have come into contact with it.
Most phenomenon comes in the form of the Arcane - Be it the ability to use Taekni in the form of spells, or the Gögna-Vaettr's abilities to manipulate the genetic makeup of sentient beings, or in the form of Traits.
