Inferno Effect Stunned. Duration: 2 seconds

The master of every infernal worries not about its death, but that it might survive too long.

Inferno is a warlock AoE spell that summons an Infernal and requires an  [Infernal Stone]. Once the Infernal is summoned, it will automatically be under the effects of Enslave Demon for one minute, after which it will die. Inferno has a cooldown period of ten minutes. The Infernal has a permanent [Immolation] aura that breaks CC. In Alterac Valley players tend to over estimate the Infernal's strength and can be used as a rather effective distraction target.

Inferno has a 100% spell power coefficient.

Sources

This spell can be learned from  [Grimoire of Inferno] or the quest   [55] Kroshius' Infernal Core. However, it is much easier for high level warlocks to get this spell through the book rather than the quests. The book has a roughly 3% drop rate from Scarshield Warlocks in Lower Blackrock Spire, and should drop after 1 or 2 runs.
