WoW SoD Phase 3: All Mage Runes Guide

Balefire Bolt is a rather interesting spell that will force Mages to decide how much they can risk dealing damage as your Spirit will be reduced after each cast.

Displacement will give Mages improved mobility which modifies your Blink that will greatly enhance your PvP and PvE experience.

Molten Armor is another great tool for Mages wanting to PvP. 

Advanced Warding gives Mages more survivability.

Deep Freeze is a massive CC spell that will surely infuriate some melee classes in PvP. 

Temporal Anomaly is another toy for Mage healers to play with. 

To get Spell Notes: Balefire Bolt you will need to follow these steps:

• Use Scroll of Spatial Mending to close Fel Portals across Azeroth.
• It is not confirmed whether you will need to have Hypnotic Blade equipped.

Fel Portal Locations:

• Fel Sliver - Barrens, Westfall, Darkshore, Silverpine Forest
• Fel Crack - Barrens, Ashenvale, Redridge Mountain
• Fel Tear - Swamp of Sorrows, Desolace
• Fel Scar - Location(s) Unknown
• Fel Rift - Location(s) Unknown

To get the rune you will need to follow these steps:

• Channel into 4 Ley Crystals scattered around Azeroth. You will need either Worldcore Fragment found from Imp explorations or team up with a Mage can use Scroll of Geomancy. Either way, you will need 4x items to complete the rune requirements.

Crystal Locations:

• Feralas: The High Wilderness /way 57 60

• Hinterlands: North of the Altar of Zul /way 48 59

• Azshara: Southwestern mountains near The Forlorn Ridge /way 22 79

• Searing Gorge /way 55 65

Once completed, a level 47 Arcane Elemental will spawn so make sure to do this with a group as Priests and Warlocks are also eligible to receive their runes. 

You will need to be Friendly with the new Emerald Wardens reputation to get Spell Notes: Molten Armor. The rune costs 1 Gold and 60 Silver. You can buy it from any of the following Quartermasters:

• Quartermaster Kyleen
• Quartermaster Valdane
• Quartermaster Falinar
• Quartermaster Alandra

To get Spell Notes: Advanced Warding you need to follow these steps:

• Pick up the quest The Wild Gods from Shadowtooth Emissary in Emerald Sanctuary, Felwood. 
• Go to Jinth'Alor in the Hinterlands. Kill elite trolls to obtain Wildwhisper Draught.
• Go to Razorfen Downs and clear the area around Amnennar the Coldbringer. Drink Wildwhisper Draught to spawn Spirit of Agamaggan. Speak to him to get a quest and Agamaggan's Roar. Only one player needs to drink the draught to spawn him.
• You will need to kill 3 mobs in three different dungeons to spawn a ghostly mob. When you trigger it, you get a chat emote "You feel a shadowed presence". Use Agamaggan's Roar near the ghostly mob; this makes a level 52 elite called the Delirious Ancient turn hostile. Each Ancient drops 1x Wild Offering:

Zul'Farrak: Clear Gahz'rilla and spawn a Ghostly Spider to summon Delirious Ancient.

Maraudon: Clear Princess Theradras area and spawn a Ghostly Raptor in the water to summon Delirious Ancient.

Blackrock Depths: Kill all three boss encounters including the Ring of Law to spawn a Ghostly Basilisk on the Dark Iron Highway (road to Bael'gar) to summon Delirious Ancient.

• Once you have collected all three Wild Offering return to Shadowtooth Emissary to collect your rune.

To get the rune you will need to follow these steps:

• Deep Freeze is part of Greater Friend of the Library, a quest line that requires Mages to locate and read a large number of books across the world.
• You will need to read more books, similar to the Spell Power and Icy Veins runes (Once we know the locations of the new books, we will make sure to update the article).

To get the rune, you will need to follow these steps:

At Level 42 you can acquire A Lesson in Literacy from Garion Wendell or Owen Thadd.

• Collect Farraki Papyrus from Zul'Farrak.
• Collect Zukk'ash Resin from bug mobs in Feralas.
• Collect Pristine Owlbeast Quill from Owlkin in Hinterlands.

Once you turn them in, you will also get Personal Spellbook.
