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 quest Rune Crafting.
Operation text
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 Andrastian and Imperial Circles. 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.

Result
