Arcane

There is no sphere that embodies magic more thoroughly than Arcane. Its power comes from symbols: words, glyphs, music, gestures, even architecture. In all these things, will exerts itself over form, and reality can be remade. Arcane is associated with the realm of Arcadia, the lands of the fey, which diverged from the mundane world as the denizens of Earth developed magical traditions.   For ages Arcane was thought to be a neutral power; the Seventh Sphere, with no counterpart. This was in part due to its distinctive ability to command the other six spheres. The rise of Technology changed that, developing into a physical counterpart to Arcane’s symbolic might. For this reason, some scholars have taken to calling Arcane the original Technology.
