- Arcane energy surged through her as she drew deep from her own power.[1]
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 30% while mana usage is increased by 30% 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 3 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.

Notes
Arcane Power is dispelled as a magic debuff.
Arcane Power does not stack with [Power Infusion]. If Arcane Power is already active, a priest casting Power Infusion will receive an error message "A more powerful spell is already active." If Power Infusion is already active on the mage, activating Arcane Power will override it.
Tips and tricks
Combine this spell with other damage-enhancing abilities such as [Presence of Mind], various damage trinkets and other buffs for maximum burst damage.
Past changes
Patch 1.11 changed [Power Infusion] so that it would no longer stack with Arcane Power. Prior to this, it was possible to gain both effects for a combined 50% damage increase.
