Prerequisite(s) trained in Arcana; Access You are from a specific region of the world.

Whether through blood or by exposure to rune magic, you have become runescarred, with visible, glowing runes on your body in the form of tattoos or scars. You might have possessed these marks before gaining the archetype, but you only truly became runescarred when you chose to study and tap into the runes’ power. You become an expert in Arcana and you also become trained in Region Lore, or an expert in Region Lore if you were already trained in it.

Choose one cantrip from the arcane list. One of the runes on your body corresponds to the chosen cantrip, and you can cast the chosen cantrip as an innate arcane spell.

Special You cannot select another dedication feat until you have gained two other feats from the runescarred archetype.
