Arcanists

The City of Malifaux is thick with magical energies. Those newly arrived to the City often talk of an electric feeling in the air, making the hairs on the back of their neck stand up. Almost all citizens of the City develop some small ability to control this energy, usually appearing as minor magical abilities. A small number will be lucky enough to display noteworthy powers, powers that could be a threat to the Guild presence in Malifaux. These individuals have been labeled Arcanists, and the Guild expends significant resources in hunting down these dangerous men and women, dedicating their Witch Hunter task force to eliminating this rogue element.
