Rules and Ranges Special Interactions Examples

Rules

  • Arcane is a modifier and therefore only affects other markings. Without markings, it will not appear.
    • A rex with markings can also be a carrier, as long as you mention this when submitting your design.
  • Arcane's color is always randomly rolled! The color cannot be inherited from the parent.
  • You are able to pick the arcane color from anywhere of the predestined slider. All 3 sections are able to be picked from: Arcane, Main Portion and Somber.
  • Arcane must affect markings fully, unless the chosen marking's guide says otherwise.
  • Arcane always has one assigned color. 
  • Arcane's color can be picked from any of its swatch's sliders. It overrides the darker/lighter than base coat color permits.
    • Arcane cannot be applied to markings with special color rules (e.g. white or black only), unless otherwise specified.
  • Arcane can affect as many markings as you'd like, and/or include some or all markings that sit above the "main" marking.
    • However, the arcane color cannot extend past the borders of the main marking even if the sub-markings themselves do. Any part of the sub-markings outside the main marking's borders must follow the rules of the marking itself.
    • Arcane cannot override marking rules that lay on top of the arcane affected marking, even if you want to color them arcane, too. They still have to be lighter or darker than the base coat. 
  • Free markings cannot be affected by Arcane other than Accents and Dyon.
  • Arcane cannot affect the claws or halo.
    • It can, however, affect the free paw pads marking.

Special Interactions

Some markings interact uniquely with Arcane, creating distinctive presentations when combined. Here's a list of these special markings.

2-Layer Markings

In cases where a marking possesses two colors, the 'Arcane' gene presents an interesting option. You are allowed to choose whether to apply the 'Arcane' effect to just one color, leaving the other untouched, or both colors. This way, the marking exhibits a blend of its original coloration and the striking 'Arcane' hue. The choice is entirely in your hands, offering a unique opportunity for creativity and customization.

The following markings are considered "2-Layered":

Brushed / Bullseye / Daub / Petal / Swathes / Submerged

Coating

When Coating and Arcane are both present on a geno, Arcane is allowed to change one color of the gradient and/or the color of the stripes and spots to be pulled from the rolled Arcane slider instead of the rolled Coating slider. At least some of the original Coating color should still be visible, as should all spots/stripes.

Fog

When you want Arcane and Fog to interact, you will be able to choose from these two options. This does NOT work for the base coat, however! Arcane is not able to affect the base coat!
Arcane can affect all Fog colors, causing the whole marking to be picked from the Arcane slider. Arcane can affect only one Fog color, leaving the rest to be picked from the Base slider.

Flesh

This color mod can additionally color the entire rexal's skin. This includes the pink sheen layer. If you want to affect the skin and want the pink sheen layer enabled, it must be the same color as the flesh layer. It does not have to be the same color as the marking you chose to color (if any), however, you must still choose a color from the assigned Arcane slider.
