Boccob is the god of arcane magic in the Common pantheon and called the uncaring, arch-mage of the gods. His agenda is to maintain, spread, and develop the use of magic; to see to it that what needs to be secret remains in wise hands while promulgating arcane knowledge as much as possible.
Among the Baklunish Boccob is the worldly counterpart of Istus, the primal god of magic and understanding of the world.
In Synchretism Boccob is the god of impartial magic, the understanding that allows control of the natural and the supernatural world.
