Fortunetelling

Arcana's domains give them the ultimate vision into the fates of others.

Incense Making

The magical incense they craft is without compare with scents almost indescribable and depending on what that batch does.

Danger Sense

As close as their tie is to fate, Arcana has the ability to sense iminate danger and react quickly to get out of it.

Disguise

Arcana takes on many forms to blend into mortal crowds and make them very difficult to track down.

Inventory

Tarot Deck

Arcana's deck is exceptionally magical and holds great power. Unfortunately... an incident with another daimon has left their deck scattered and lost. They will go to great lengths to retrieve them, being left with only The Fool card from their deck.

Bottomless Bag

Though it looks simple enough, Arcana's bag has a deceptively large holding space for appearing so small. Supposedly infinite and definitely made with magic.

Apparel

Also bound in magic are the daimon's clothes. They hold protective and illusive properties that help them stay safe and hidden (As well as very stylish).

Planchette

Stashed among the many knickknacks on their person, is a small crystalline planchette. They use this to speak with spirits and see things through the eye of it that would otherwise be hidden.

Lair

A small and mysterious cottage that travels on what look to be giant legs (usually hidden beneath the house when dormant) to anywhere the daimon wills it to. It is covered in colorful cloth, the rich scent of incense, and an evergrowing display of curiosities and crystals. Depending on where the cottage travels, the legs can change into different forms such as wings for the open aether or fins for underwater travel.

Summary

Watching the weave of fate craft its course, Arcana was mostly an observer. They watched as the fates and fortunes of mortals went on and on; even lending their aid to those they deemed worthy or interesting enough. Anyone that could grab Arcana's attention could be shown where their fate would take them, though very few of these were glad for the knowledge. The knowing always brought trouble but it never stopped anyone from wanting to know anyhow. For a long time they travelled alone, and fancied themselves fine with that. However, there came a time when a mortal Arcana offered to give a fortune to denied it. It began a burn of curiosity in the daimon that eventually lead to a close friendship between the two. For the first time, Arcana read someone's fortune without express permission and what they found haunted them. Their friend was soon to die. Even for a mortal, their life would be cut short. In every way they could, Arcana tried to stall and stop the death, but fate could not be denied.

Full of hurt and longing, Arcana attempted to steal the soul of the mortal back in hopes they might be able to turn them into a daimon themselves and grant them eternal life. This plan went sour when the Daimon of the Wings of Death intervened. Arcana had overstepped their bounds in meddling with the dead, and as punishment, had their magical deck scattered, and themselves set on a journey they were loathe to take.
