Arcanist?

[Dragonhelm]

It was pointed out to me that the old PHB wizard is now known as the arcanist. Yet I'm having some trouble finding where that change is made. I'm certain it's a Dragon article, yet I can't seem to find it.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

It hasn't been released yet. It will come out in the monthly Class Compendium series of articles (which are free, btw), but I'm not sure when exactly.

In the article with multiclass options for Essentials classes, there are feats aimed at the Wizard (arcanist). Also at the Rogue (scoundrel).

Found it. It's planned for July according to the March Editorial.

Okay, so it looks like this was something hinted at, but not fully out there yet.

What's weird is that the wizard is now listed as the arcanist in Compendium.

Arcanists and mages are the two major types of wizards. Mages have a specialty school and arcanists specialize in a type of implement.
