The Wizard calls down a shower of small meteors to create a living inferno where arcane energy, bombarding her enemies wherever she directs itchooses.

The {{Iw|Sorceress_Fire_Spells#Meteor Meteor}} skill from [[Diablo 2]] has been upgraded and modified. Furthermore, Arcane Torrent can be cast for as long as the [[Wizard]] wishes, with a [[mana]] cost per second, rather than per use.

Arcane Torrent now calls down multiple meteors over a wider area, much like the [[Blizzard]] spell. The key difference there might be the damage type. While [[cold slows ]] [[slow]]s and cold [[critical hit]]s [[freeze]], [[Arcane ]] critical hits [[silence ]] enemy [[caster]]s, stopping monsters from using various [[spell ]] attacks.

Spell was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the [[Wizard]] was unveiled, then named [[Meteor Storm]] and placed in the [[Conjuring Skill Tree]]. It was part of the Wizard presentation video, and besides changing name and skill tree location, has been completely unchanged in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] demo. The name change is likely coinciding with the return of the [[Meteor]] skill.
