The first of two dubious illegal magic types, and likely the most unusual, is the Arcanus magic type. Fittingly named, Arcanus magic surrounds anything and everything arcane, or abstract not in the same way that Etherelium does it, but is instead abstract in the sense that it warps reality in ways not understood or not thought to be possible.

This effect is known as Perdita: The art in which an individual warps reality in ways it isn't supposed to be warped, or uses it in ways it isn't intended to be used. Some examples of this include:

• Atypical physical properties (Cold fire, dry water, hot ice)

• Differentiating gravity (Most commonly naturally occurring, and can be found within both the Pit of Aberration and Kokubu - Hall of Reverse)

• Unusually recognisable, but not quite recognisable, physical property (See the example images at the bottom of the page)

• Magical psychedelics

This magic can cause extreme discomfort, confusion and loss within an individual, and is made illegal both for this reason, and because the extent of its unusual warping properties are not yet known. Nobody's sure what kind of capabilities someone who's extremely powerful in Arcanus could have, but nobody theorises it to be a positive outcome.

Any magic which is considered to be physical or effectively atypical can be categorised as Arcanus (Perdita).

Try and recognise something in these images, and then explain the feeling you get from them to yourself. That's the typical effect this magic has on a person, but usually on a larger, more dangerous scale.
