5 quanta for 1 spell
or 11 quanta for 3 spell,
Arcane Study doesn't seems effective enough.

Does the spell have to be in your deck or is it chosen randomly?

Balance has never been my strong suit.
Where should I add balance? More uses, Lower cost, or bit of both.

It is random.

Arcane Study
5 quanta for 1 spell
or 11 quanta for 3 spell,
turns: 3
draw card: random
cost: split duo

Golden Hourglass
6 :time for 1 card.
10 :time for 3 cards.
turns: indefinitely
draw card: deck card
cost: mono

im sorry, apparently the stats is quite similar,
Arcane Study is balanced.

but considering the new fact that Arcane Study draws
random cards, Arcane Study can receive some reduction
in skill costs, perhaps to 2 quanta costs.

drawing random cards is good
but golden hourglass drawing deck cards makes
your deck more efficient and reliable, easy to setup,
thats why i recommend Arcane Study to be slightly cheaper than Golden Hourglass.

I would make a deck around this card! I really like it! I concur with the others: the skill cost can be reduced by 1 or the usage limit might be doubled, eventually.

Are there any potential card interaction?

What sort of Decks would this fit in?

Can the ability be activated only once or multiple times per turn?

Are spells generated by Library upped?

I think both questions can be yes, but if this makes it into the game, that will be something to look at as a balancing tool.
