- Each blast of arcane power strikes its target more quickly than the last.
Arcane Blast is a mage ability learned at level 10 for those who have chosen the Arcane specialization. It deals direct arcane damage, generating an [Arcane Charge] each time. So long as one charge remains active, it increases both the damage and cost of the spell. With careful management, the mage can use this spell to trade off damage per mana versus damage per second.

- Patch 3.1.0 (14-Apr-2009): Stacking effect is no longer considered a Magic effect and will not be dispelled.
Formerly it was considered a harmful magical effect and would be dispelled by friendly casters, sometimes by accident, other times because of other magic debuffs. - Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): This ability has been significantly changed. Arcane Blast now increases the damage of the next Arcane spell by 15%. However, using Arcane Blast itself does not consume the charge itself.

This effect stacks up to 3 times and lasts 10 seconds or until any Arcane damage spell except Arcane Blast is cast.

- Patch 2.1.0 (22-May-2007): The Arcane Blast debuff can no longer be dispelled.
