Arcane Power

Arcane Power is a talent-trained mage ability that for a short period of time increases damage output at the expense of increased mana usage. Damage output is increased by 20% while mana usage is increased by 20% for a period of 15 seconds. This ability is one of the mage's best burst damage tools, and it is often combined with other burst damage abilities and items. With a 2 minute cooldown, a mage with Arcane Power is often referred to as a Three-Minute Mage.

Casting Arcane Power does not start the Global Cooldown.
