The Wizard summons a glowing orb that upon touch will deal great damage to all foes and objects in its range.
==Skill Design==
A glowing orb of energy travels about 10 yards, before bursting in a nova of destruction. The spell looks something like the D2 [[Sorceress]]' {{iw|Sorceress_Cold_Spells#Frozen_Orb Frozen Orb}}, but without the spray of ice spears as it flies across the room. The spell only allowed one point in the [[BlizzCon 2008]] demo, but the final game will surely allow more than 1 rank to be added to it.
It works like the Fireball of [[Diablo I]].
In the latest build, when the spell crits, it has a silence effect, like all arcane [[critical hit]]s.
==Skill Rank Table==
* '''Rank 1:''' 11-16 arcane damage, 1-2 [[AoE]] damage, 7 mana.
* '''Rank 2:''' 2-4 aoe damage, 9 mana.
There are 5 ranks in the current Blizzcon build.
==Synergies==
* None known.
==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==
* None known.
==Development==
Arcane Orb was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the [[Wizard]] was unveiled. IT was updated slightly in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] demo, and you can see the latest version [[Arcane Orb|here]].
