As you all know, the "magic system" of the Dragon Prince is based on 6 elements, these are sky, moon, sun, ocean, earth, and star.

At first we are told that no human can learn magic, only extract it from living creatures... But then Callum shows us that humans can use magic of one of these elements, once they understand the Arcanum of that element. An arcanum is like a deep truth, a reality of the world. Callum learns 2 of these truths, and the moon elf tries to explain a third one...

Sky: everything is connected, we all breathe the same air and we all live under the same sky. Everything influences everything else, it's an ecosystem.

Ocean: the ocean arcanum is understanding that there are things that go beyond your control, and accepting it. It's learning to go with the flow instead of fighting the current.

Moon: we don't know what is real and what is not. The outside world is filtered through our senses, therefore we don't have a direct contact with what we call reality, we cannot truly see the real world as it is. There are colours and wavelengths of light we cannot see, frequencies of sounds we can't hear, all we have is what little our senses can perceive, and the illusion of reality that our brain can scramble with it.

What about sun, earth and star? Are their arcanums ever explained in the show, or elsewhere?

Hey everyone. I haven’t really kept in touch with TDP after the Claudia short for TDK. I don’t believe there is one yet, but if one does happen to pick it up, what studio do you think will be the most likely to pick up TDK?

Also I haven’t gotten into any of the fanfics out there. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations? I think what I’d most be interested in would be Calum falling or severely struggling with Dark magic then what we see in the show because that was a letdown for me. Maybe seeing him become a pawn for Aaravos but breaks free somehow. Also how he reacts with Rayla since I felt it was hardly touched on with how pissed he should’ve been when she came back from hunting Viren who was by all accounts dead (which he was for a time).
