Acquiring the Catalysts, Infusions, and Arcana is essential if you want to experiment with different Horadric Spells. You can obtain Catalysts and Infusions by completing specific quests during the seasonal questline. Meanwhile, you can acquire Arcana through Horadric Strongrooms.

Magic Arcana, e.g., Murky Essence, are earned simply by clearing Horadric Strongrooms. On the other hand, higher-level Arcana like Rare and Legendary drop only if you progress further in the Horadric Knowledge system.

Catalysts, Infusions, and Arcana power up different aspects of the spell. While the Catalysts and Infusions determine the base power and elemental damage of the spell, Arcana adds additional effects and buffs. Equip the Murky Essence to one of the Arcana slots, which then grants a Stealth effect to your Catalyst for 2 seconds. The Stealth effect makes you invisible and prevents you from being directly targeted by enemies, providing a significant tactical advantage in battle. You can also use Horadric Phials to upgrade Murky Essence up to Rank 5, where you will gain +0.4 seconds for each rank.
