The Arcane ability of the Tarnished affects which weapons they can wield effectively and affects the damage output of weapons that have Arcane scaling. Increasing Arcane will also increase Discovery, which increases the chance of receiving drops from enemies. It will also contribute to the Tarnished's Holy Defense and their Vitality, which increases resistance to Death Blight. Increasing Arcane affects weapons with Blood Loss, Poison, Madness and Sleep build up, increasing the rate at which they inflict these status effects.
The Tarnished can increase their Arcane by spending Runes at Sites of Grace. The Tarnished has a base discovery rate of 100, with each level in Arcane increasing Discovery by 1. Increasing Holy Defense has soft caps at 20, 35 and 60 Arcane. Vitality increased through Arcane has soft caps at 15, 40 and 60 Arcane.
