Editing Arbiter (section)

=== 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.
