Rune of Power is a row 4 mage talent. It acts as a ground-targeted spell power buff.

It is an exclusive choice node with Ability mage incantersabsorbtion [Incanter's Flow].

Notes and trivia[]

  • The tooltip is outdated for Arcane mages. Spell nature lightning [Arcane Power] has been removed; Ability mage arcanesurge [Arcane Surge] now creates a Rune of Power for Arcane mages instead.
  • This talent was mentioned in the April Fools' Day Legion alpha patch note preview: "Rune of Power's tooltip has been updated. It now reads: 'Immediately causes the boss to cast an AoE damaging ability at the Mage's current location.' Functionality unchanged."
