Arcane magic
Arcane magic is one of three types, or traditions, of magic, along with divine and psychic magic, that manifests in the form of spells and spell-like effects.[1] Arcane spells are known to create more dramatic and destructive effects than divine spells.[2][3]

Components
Unlike divine magic, many arcane magic spells require physical components, almost always in the form of either a reusable focus or consumable material component.[4]
Written spells
Arcane spells can be described using an intricate, universal form of notation. Each spell scribe has a unique form that renders written spells incomprehensible to other arcane spellcasters until they decipher its contents.[2] Wizards scribe spells into spellbooks for reference and preparation, and all arcane spellcasters can read scrolls depicting arcane spells.[5]
