Useful Info
Arcanists are spell casters who can blast you and make you fragile. Fortunately, they are flimsy. They can be found in late Dungeon and Vaults.

Tips & Tricks
- Arcanists can deal high damage, but they aren't too evasive, cannot see invisible, and don't have much willpower.
- Willpower helps avoid being vitrified, while cold resistance helps defend against Bolt of Cold.
- A silenced or waterlogged arcanist can only do weak melee attacks.
History
- In 0.33, arcanists will have higher HD (11 instead of 10), 15 EV instead of 13 EV, and more health.
- Prior to 0.32, arcanists had Force Lance instead of Searing Ray.
- In 0.31, arcanists were added to the game, split off from wizards.
