Netherese arcanist

In the long past days of Netheril, practitioners of the Art once were able to bend arcane powers in ways no one today still can; except a few. A small number of people from the time of Netheril, mostly liches and the ruling shades from Thultanthar, are direct survivors of that fallen empire. Some few others have researched the past thoroughly enough that they have uncovered the secrets of the ancient Netherese.
