Editing Arbiter (section)

== Attunement Features ==

''Features that are a result of specific attunement functions, rather than the types of mana available to the attuned.''

=== Mana Purification and Transfer ===

The Arbiter attunement is capable of purifying the user's [[mana]], making it possible to safely transfer mana into another person<ref name=aa2-2 />. This effect also applies to mana generated by objects enchanted with pure mana, either by an arbiter who is also an enchanter or a regular enchanted item purified by an arbiter<ref name=aa2-8>''On the Shoulders of Titans'' Chapter 8</ref>.

Because of this purification, an arbiter can recharge an attunement, including giving an attuned mana above their capacity, although giving them enough mana to more than double their capacity can cause mana scarring in the target, as can exceeding their maximum capacity more than once per week. This boost is not permanent, although it does provide a small permanent increase, typically about 2 percent of the previous total<ref name=aa2-2 />.

An additional consequence of the mana purification function is that arbiters cannot be tracked by their mana signature, since they do not have one. When attempting to track an arbiter's mana signature, detection spells are unable to differentiate between any arbiter or item with arbiter-purified mana<ref name=aa3-5>''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 5</ref>. This does not prevent tracking via other methods, such as spirit tracking.

=== Attunement Movement ===

Arbiters can move attunements from one location on an attuned's body to another location, such as moving an attunement from an arm to a leg. It is also possible to move an attunement from one attuned to another, although there are significant risks to that. When moving an attunement from one person to another, the person must be acclimated to mana in their bodies. An quartz-level attunement could safely be moved to an unattuned, but a citrine attunement could only be moved to another citrine level attuned. If this requirement is not met, the person who is being granted the attunement generally explodes<ref name=aa3-6>''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 6</ref>.

This process cannot be performed without the direct consent of the attuned due to safeguards built into attunements<ref name=aa3-6 />.

=== Attunement Decryption ===

''Note: This function is not available until the attunement reaches citrine level.''

Some attunement functions' [[attunement#subglyphs|subglyphs]] are encrypted, and impossible to read or change. At Citrine level, the arbiter attunement grants the ability to read this<ref name=aa3-23>''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 23</ref>.

=== Attunement Modification ===

If the arbiter has access to mental mana, it is possible to alter the subglyphs on existing attunements.

=== Arbiter's Gate Access ===

Arbiters are capable of charging a petitioner's coin and entering the [[Soaring Spires#Arbiter's_Gate|Arbiter's Gate]] in the soaring spires<ref name=aa3-6 />.
