Arenophites are a class of people living on Antoisia who have the knowledge to manipulate the various colored sands found on Antoisia. The art of manipulating sand and its alternate forms is kept highly secret and there are few arenophites in the world able and willing to share their knowledge. It takes decades to learn the art of sand magic, glass blowing, and metal casting for just one colored sand, and to this date there hasn't been anyone with complete knowledge of manipulating multiple sand colors.

Sand Sorcerers
Sand sorcerers are arenophites who are capable of manipulating sand in its raw natural sand form. Sand sorcerers are the considered by many arenophites to be the most novice title for arenophites because while they know about the effect of the different colored sands, they do not possess the knowledge to turn the sand into its other two forms.

Metallic Mages
Metallic mages are arenophites who have the knowledge to cast metals using colored sand molds. Metallic mages are considered one of the advanced level arenophites, because of their ability to sculpt into molds the cast needed to make a metal piece. It is also by this time arenophites also learn how to mixed different colored sands into their molds to produce different and new effects. Knowledge of metalworking is also important for metallic mages for they will also need to know how to properly form metals from ores to create individual parts, assemblies, or large scale structures. It is because of this new level of flexibility and technical knowledge that corresponds to a wide range of skills, processes, and tools.

Glass Genies
Glass genies are arenophites who know how to turn molten sand into glass using the glassblowing technique. Glass genies are considered one of the advanced level of arenophites, because of their knowledge glassworking and temperatures needed to melt the sand. Glass genies also have a working knowledge of mixing sands into their furnace to achieve different results, particularly which color sands can mix with their primary color and what temperatures the furnace has to be for both colors to melt seamlessly.

Claimers
Claimers are arenophites who have for one reason or another abandoned their studies of sand magic under their masters and have instead decided to use what knowledge they do have to become bounty hunters. This is the ultimate form of insult to the arenophite community as claimers use their knowledge of magic sands to harm others and for personal gain. They are viewed by other arenophites as selfish scumbags who are a disgrace to the entire arenophite community.
