What are Arcanas?

Arcanas are modifiers in Vampire Survivors. Unlocking the Randomazzo item activates the Arcana system and the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players choose their Arcanas on the stage selection screen before starting a run. Each Arcana offers unique functionality, but must first be unlocked.
