Notes

TCG artwork by Glenn Rane.
  • Summons an untargettable "Imp in a Ball" directly in front of the caster. It makes the same imp noise that you hear when a warlock summons an Imp minion. The imp shakes up and down for a few seconds, and then whispers you a fortune.
  • Casting time is instant. The cooldown is 30 seconds. The Imp lasts for a slightly shorter duration and then fades away.
  • The number of different fortunes seems to be very large.
  • If you are in a party or raid, the Imp will speak in your party instead of whispering you.
  • An imp in a ball can be found hovering above a pool in the Serenity Falls in the Jade Forest. Another ones can be seen in Karazhan Catacombs in Deadwind Pass and in the Barracks in Orgrimmar.
