The Arcane Research Station allows your 
[Augmentation Center](@oritech:augment_application_block) to 
work with arcane energy.
It is a necessary component for researching "Unholy" augmentations.

It requires **3 machine cores** and fills one augmentation-center station slot, just like the other station types.

This tier covers the most unusual augments in the tree, including flight, cloak, portal return, ore vision, gravity control, luck, and other late-game hybrid tech-magic upgrades.
