Arcanist

, also called Magic Scholar, is a subclass in Elder Tale.

Overview
An advanced subclass derived from the Scholar, specialized in the academic study of magic. It is obtainable by raising the level of the Scholar and taking the subclass-changing quest. Arcanist can be considered as an hybrid between Production and Roleplay, as they can craft consumable magic items like scrolls, which balances its inferiority to the Scholar in the field of researches and studies.

It is one of the rarest subclasses for People of the Earth as it is said there are less Scholars than Nobles and only a small percentage of them become Arcanists (less than 5%). Like the Scholars, they usually live where books and study materials are easily found, like in the magic city of Tsukuba or the Golden Library of Romatrice. Earthling Arcanists have a limited ability to use magic. However, their level can’t go past 50 which is twice as less as the max an Adventurer can do, so competition between the two is difficult to make.

A detailed article was written about this subclass in the 29th volume of the Theldesia Gazette.
