Targeting and features
Shift: Presence of Mind → Otherwise: Arcane Power
Modifier
Requirements
- Learned Arcane Power; the source records its first rank at level 40. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
- An actual point in the Arcane Power talent (Arcane) and its prerequisites; selecting a recommended spec alone does not grant it.
- Learned Presence of Mind; the source records its first rank at level 30. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
- An actual point in the Presence of Mind talent (Arcane) and its prerequisites; selecting a recommended spec alone does not grant it.
Known limitations
- Research-supported design for beta 1.60.1.70009; no recorded in-client macro tests. English spell names require localization on other clients.
- Modifier keybindings can intercept the combination. Spell selection is manual; an unlearned or unavailable modifier action does not fall back to the default spell.
- No damage spell is chained to either cooldown. You decide when to use the effect and cast the follow-up spell separately.
Notes
- Spell IDs identify the sourced first-rank reference; unranked names request the learned rank selected by the client. A spellbook tab is not a specialization lock.
- Talent and level records are provisional beta extraction, not proof of spell acquisition.
