Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Build Discussion Arcane Arrows & Abjuration Wizards

I just noticed that the arcane arrows specify what magic they use to function. So my question is this: If you fire the banishing arrow, which uses abjuration magic, and you are a multiclassed abjurer, will you get arcane ward charges from the arrow? That might make for an interesting build.

No.

Arcane Ward only benefits from Spells and specifically relies on Leveled Spells (You can Arcane Ward charges based on the level of the spell. Which is why you can't just spam Blade Ward for infinite charges as Cantrips are Level 0).

Arcane Shots are weapon actions, not spells.
