'''Acquire the Arcanist''' is a [[war table]] operation in ''[[Dragon Age: Inquisition]]''.

== Acquisition ==
This mission is available on the [[Ferelden]] side of the [[war table]] in [[Skyhold]] as part of the [[Side quests (Inquisition)|side quest]] [[Rune Crafting]].

== Operation text ==

{{Blockquote|Skyhold has incredible potential for runecrafting and mastercraft smithing, if only we had a gifted mind to gain full benefit. The war and the [[Venatori]] have claimed many experts, but we have located an "arcanist" with great skill and a reputation for humbling first enchanters in both [[Chantry|Andrastian]] ''and'' [[Imperial Chantry|Imperial]] [[Circle]]s. Two assassination attempts---and at least one explosion---have made landholders reluctant to allow her passage through their territory. It will take significant effort to bring her from Tantervale, but this arcanist would be invaluable to the [[Inquisition]].}}

== Advisor suggestions ==
{{Note|The quest is completed instantly for all advisors.}}

=== [[Josephine Montilyet|Josephine]] ===

{{Blockquote|Alliance can overwhelm any concern. The owners of where she will travel need to be convinced of the worth of pleasing us.}}

=== [[Leliana]] ===

{{Blockquote|To bar passage, they must know she’s there. They will not.}}

=== [[Cullen Rutherford|Cullen]] ===

{{Blockquote|A full retinue will secure her safety along the [[Imperial Highway]].}}

== Result ==

=== All advisors ===
{{Blockquote|The arcanist has been secured, despite great cost and concern of more than a few traditional-minded mages. She awaits a meeting with [[the Inquisitor]] in the [[Undercroft]].}}

== Rewards ==

=== All advisors ===
* Unlocks [[Dagna|the Arcanist]] in Skyhold's Undercroft.
* Progresses the side quest [[Rune Crafting]].
* Progresses [[Leliana|Leliana's]] advisor quest [[Under Her Skin]].
