The ogres, as descendants of Aggramar's creation Grond, used the arcane to shape and bend rock and stone to their will, coming to prize Apexis Crystals in particular for their immense potential, and some Kirin Tor magi have used earth elementals in the past, implying the arcane can, under certain circumstances, bind other elements as well. The Moon Guard, the Nar'thalas Academy magi, and the Highborne of Queen Azshara's Court all seem to have used Frost and Fire spells alongside the Arcane, the ogre mage Glubtok was able to random channel Fire and Frost spells against his opponents using the arcane, and the draenei mage Valaatu has allegedly taught the arcane, frost and fire magics for over a century, feeling them just as strongly on Azeroth as she did other worlds. The Fire and Frost schools seem to be related to the Arcane, with several of their spells described as "simple manifestations of arcana" by Archmage Nakada, and can be even be combined as the Frostfire school, although the exact relationship and workings remain unclear.

He also used arcane magic to create an arcane-wedge along with arcane elementals that would use the wedge to hammer and pierce the floor where he was trapped. Another example is Khadgar infusing ice with arcane, rendering it extremely resilient, so much that it nullified the fel assault of Gul'dan entirely. Arcane magic can be used with other types of magic to reinforce them, such as when Archmage Khadgar summoned an orb of fire and ice energy along with an arcane orb and combined them together in order to destroy a dam in Blackrock Quarry. Wielders of arcane magic are usually called mages, who usually use it to create portals or teleport people and objects. Īrcane has been described as the "base fabric" of the world, and like all other types of magic, can be animated, the prime example of this being the arcane elementals. While the exact limits of her power are unknown, she was notably able to shatter the, a Pillar of Creation able to hold Elemental Lords such as Neptulon at bay, "in a frightening display of arcane power", the same act trapping the entire Court of Farondis in an eternal ghostly state in Azsuna, unable to pass on from the world of the living even after ten millennia spent trying to break her spell. As the last ruler of the Kaldorei Empire, Azshara was seemingly more powerful than the likes of Mannoroth, and was allegedly comparable only to Archimonde and Sargeras, and others have described her as the greatest sorceress to have ever lived, her mastery of the arcane far surpassing and predating even the greatest of the human magi. In eons past, the titan Pantheon, among the most powerful beings of Order in the universe, used the primal "language of the arcane" to weave entire worlds into existence, although Queen Azshara's people, the Highborne night elves of ancient Kalimdor purportedly had the potential to rival them. Examples of this can be seen with element-based abilities used by mages, or the bronze glow of chronomancy. However, when used to bend other types of magic, it takes on the characteristics and appearance of those magics. Volatile arcane energies is described as the lifeblood of the nascent titan of Azeroth. The ley lines are like blood vessels of the planet, carrying arcane magic instead of scarlet fluid. Arcane magic can be pulled from ley lines, channels of immense magical power that course through Azeroth itself. Arcane is also largely present in the Twisting Nether. Īrcane energy is thus countered by fel energy, and is fundamentally opposed to it. Disorder, on the other hand, manifests as highly destructive fel magic, a destructive and extremely addictive energy originating as a result of the mutual destruction of Light and Void as they collide on a cosmic scale in the Twisting Nether. Arcane energy is innately volatile, and wielding it requires intense precision and concentration. Order is most commonly perceived in reality as arcane magic.

Norgannon's blessing of the Blue Aspect

Such is the contradiction you must deal with. But it must also be appreciated and valued and not hoarded. “I believe that you will find that my gift to you is not just a profound duty-which it is-but also a delight-which it is! Magic must be regulated, managed, and controlled.
