Magic, otherwise known as the Arcane, is considered dangerous in both Piltover and Zaun. Due to its instability and difficulty to master, the Council banned its study in the Academy. This ban was lifted when Jayce Talis began development of Hextech, a way to master magic using science.
Councillor Bolbok has claimed that his race was nearly wiped out because of magic, and other Councillors have pointed out that Piltover was founded to escape the warmongering of mages, since Arcane power in the wrong hands can become easily corrupted
It can be found in raw crystals, such as the ones Powder steals,[1] and harnessed more safely through refined gemstones that Jayce and Viktor create.[2] Hextech uses runes to channel Arcane energy through these gemstones.
There are also those of which who were touched by the Arcane, allowing them the ability to manipulate and channel the Arcane naturally, like Mel Medarda and members of the Black Rose, who are known as mages.[3]
