Arcane Spy

Arcane spies are thieves who specialize in stealing all manner of arcanum (physical and otherwise) from mages. In most cases an arcane spy will be acting on behalf of another mage, although there are some who operate independently and sell their ill-gotten plunderings to anyone willing to meet their price.

The profession of arcane spy is ancient, and highly-despised within the magic community. Still, despite their outward aversion to the profession, many mages still employ the services of a skilled arcane spy from time to time -- although none would ever admit to it!

On top of being expert thieves, arcane spies are also experts in the realm of arcana.
