At its core, “Arcane” seems most interested in asking questions about change. How does change come about? Is it through the progress of science and innovation or through rebellion and revolution? Will innovation ever be able to remain pure-hearted, or will it always be corrupted by those searching for power? Is there a way to fight for the oppressed without violence, or as Silco said in ...
