[Arcane Charge] and 
[Arcane Charges].
Arcane Charges are a unique Arcane mage resource displayed in the user interface beneath the player's health and mana bars. They become available to Arcane mages at level 10. Mages can have a maximum of 4 Arcane Charges at a time.
Arcane Charges interact with the mage's arcane spells:
- Generated by [Arcane Blast],
[Arcane Explosion], and 
[Touch of the Magi]. - Increases the damage of Arcane Blast,
[Arcane Barrage], and 
[Nether Tempest] by 60% (modified by 
[Mastery: Savant]). - Increases the mana cost of Arcane Blast by 100%, and reduces its cast time by 8%.
- After level 31, increases the number of targets hit by Arcane Barrage for 50% damage by 1.
- After level 52, restores 2% of maximum mana when casting Arcane Barrage.
Arcane Charges begin to decay and disappear after 40 seconds of inactivity, losing 1 charge every 5 seconds.
