An old scroll case
Minor arcanum #1
A leather scroll case, cracked and age-worn. Inside is a tattered letter and a pair of small, bluish ingots. It’s a letter, in an older Hillfolk dialect, from an apprentice to their master. It describes a mental exercise to draw latent power from aetherium.
You can learn Laoj Daveth’s Galvanic Infusion from the scroll, but…
Requirements
- ☐ …you must translate the letter.
- ☐ …it’ll take a few weeks of dedicated study.
- ☐ …you’ll use up one of the aetherium ingots (or another source of aetherium).
- ☐ …you risk electrocuting yourself and/or using up the other ingot.
The rest is discovered in play. Every arcanum has a hidden back — what it becomes, what it wants, what it costs. That’s for your table to find out, so it isn’t published here.
Back to all arcana.

The app deals arcana face-down; the GM flips them when the fiction says so.
