Arcanoxis is the Overdeity of universal magic, an entity so intertwined with the mystical essence of reality that he is often described as the embodiment of magic itself. Depictions of Arcanoxis are nebulous, usually illustrated as a swirling vortex of arcane symbols, glyphs, and equations that form and disperse in a never-ending dance of cosmic energy.

Arcanoxis is believed to have birthed magic into the cosmos at the dawn of existence. His very essence is woven into the arcane fabric of every spell, magical artifact, and enchanted plane. Unlike other deities who manipulate or channel magical energy, Arcanoxis is the primal source. Though he is the wellspring of all arcane power, he remains aloof, entrusting the magic to the ebb and flow of the universe.

Direct worship of Arcanoxis is rare, for he is distant and indifferent to adoration or offerings. However, scholars of magic, archmages, and other beings who seek to understand the primordial roots of arcane energy often pay homage to him in their quests for knowledge. Temples dedicated to Arcanoxis are like arcane sanctuaries, filled with scrolls, tomes, and magical artifacts, but these places are more for study than worship.

The "Arcanic Convergence" is a phenomenon where magical ley lines around the world were said to pulse with unparalleled power for just a moment. Many scholars believe this to be a minute fluctuation in Arcanoxis's unfathomable energy, a cosmic heartbeat felt throughout the magical veins of the world. The event led to surges in magical power, unexplained phenomena, and the birth of new arcane insights.

Arcanoxis has no champion; his realm of influence transcends the need for representation. His power is manifested in every magical action, from the simplest cantrip to the most intricate and earth-shattering spells.
