What are Arcanas and Tarot Cards?
Arcanas are special abilities you can equip. These are unlocked when you find the Tarot Card and fulfill its conditions. This usually involves defeating a boss.
Arcanas have additional skills called "Blessings" when you fulfill conditions called the "Works of Mercy." So, make sure to check those too.
