<u>Instability was removed from the game</u> in mid-2010, since the [[D3 Team]] could not get it functioning as they wanted. The Wizard's resource is now called [[Arcane Power]], which functions very differently than mana or Instability were going to.

==Instability's Functions==
Instabilty Instability was meant to encourage a fast-paced, always attacking style of play. The main theory was for the resource to make the Wizard "more blasty, but more vulnerable." Jay Wilson first described it in October 2009.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-exclusive-full-transcript/]
::'''Jay Wilson: '''Well for the Wizard we want to enforce the fact that she’s a glass cannon. I don’t think it’s fun to ever run out of mana. I’m not really interested in an extended resource for her. For the WD we’re okay with mana, since he’s got some pretty good skills to recover mana that also double as attacks. And he’s not defenseless when he’s out of mana. He’s got pets and ways to attack with them that aren’t mana intensive. For him that makes mana fairly interesting.
