Cursus Arcanorum is Latin for Course of the Secrets or Secret Knowledge. It is used to translate a "wanderword" that spread throughout the Pallathantic Region in the twenty fifth century. It is based upon an Ebinóëse expression that arose in the Middle Ages. The modern use of the term since the twenty fifth century when the Medibgóëse Schools underwent an academic renaissance indicates a body of academic course work considered essential for any professional spellcaster.
