Advanced Arcana

ADD TO WISHLIST >

 My Dearest Student,

            I am glad to hear that you were accepted into the Aubergrave Academy of Magecraft. I wasn't surprised that you were able to gain entrance-I've always known you were a bright and promising young pupil, but still, I am excited to hear that you will be joining the elite ranks of mages who've attended Aubergrave. I'm sure you recall that it was the academy I attended when I was young, and, if what Dean Revis tells me about your entrance tests is true, I'm sure that your father would have been very proud of you.

            To celebrate the occasion, I wanted to provide you with a book of spells that was given to me when I joined the academy, and which has proven invaluable both as a student, and in later parts of my life as well. Many of the spells in this tome are ones that I still use regularly to this day. Know that these aren't the kinds of spells that you will be taught in the academy: they're notably more subtle and complex, but I assure you that they are well worth the time required to learn them, and should help you greatly in your time at the academy. Magic missile and summon monster can only take you so far, after all...

Some of Advanced Arcana's features include:

  • 65 brand-new spells, many of which explore what spells can do in new and exciting ways!
  • New domains for clerics, bloodlines for sorcerers, and focused schools for wizards, plus new familiars.
  • Beautiful art from a variety of artists.
  • A short story on the discovery of these spells.
  • Over 50 pages.

How does magical education work in your game? There's quite a trend within Pathfinder RPG product to suggest that you can go to school to study magic, just as you or I in the real world can take classes in history or computer science... a reasonable as [...]

Many of the spell-products that have been released over the years are extensive collections of spells that are mostly just variants of existing spells with perhaps something new strewn into the mix. It's rare and unusual to find a product that doesn't [...]

This pdf is 59 pages long, 1 page front cover, 1 page inside of front cover, 1 page credits, 1 page ToC, 1 page SRD and 1 page back cover. That leaves 53 pages of new arcane, not a bad bang-to-buck-ratio, so let’s dive in. The pdf starts with [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
