Release information: a new Dungeons & Dragons rulebook featuring "high magic" options, including a host of new spells.

Arcana Unleashed will offer new high-magic character creation options, including the Conjurer and Enchanter wizard subclasses, as well as new feats, new spells, and a new magic item system that allows items to grow in power alongside character leveling. Arcana Unleashed will be released in September 2026.

New spells confirmed for the book includes Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting (a 8th Level Necromancy spell that saps moisture from anything inside a 30-foot cube), Aura of Evasion (a 7th Level Abjuration spell that creates an aura that grants all allies within it advantage of Dexterity spells and reduces damage from effects that require Dexterity saving throws by half on a failure and negates all damage on a success) and Battle Familiar (a 2nd Level Transmutation spell that either a beefs up an existing familiar or creates a new one.) Backgrounds found in the book include the Cosmic Dawn Experimenter and the Covenant of the Grave Recruit. New feats include the Arcane Undertaker feat, the Arcane Eloquence feat, and the Transmuted Anatomy feat.
