Studies for a [[Wizard]], in how to weaken enemies affected by [[Arcane]] spells.
==Skill Design==
This would presumably stack with other passives that increase the damage and hit chance of [[critical hit]]s.
==Skill Rank Table==
* '''Rank 1:''' 10% damage increase for 5 sec.
==Synergies==
* All [[Arcane Skill tree|Arcane spells]].
==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==
* None known.
==Development==
Arcane Weakness was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the [[Wizard]] was unveiled. It had some minor changes, including a move to Tier 5, and doubling the percentage of damage at the demo shown at [[BlizzCon 2009]]. You can see the latest version of the spell [[Arcane Weakness|here]].
