Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Spellblade Aluriel cycles between three enchantments: Frost, Fire, and Arcane. Each enchantment grants her an ability that she can only use while she's under the effect of that enchantment. She will then manipulate that magic with a few commands: replicate, detonate, and animate.
Tanks
- When Aluriel performs Annihilate, gather together to share the damage.
- Transfer Mark of Frost to an ally when its damage becomes excessive, but be mindful that each transfer triggers an explosion.
- Quickly move away from the target of Detonate: Arcane Orb, which deals more damage the closer players are to the impact point.
- Interrupt Fiery Enchantments when they cast Pyroblast, which deals critical damage to a target.
Healers
- Transfer Mark of Frost to an ally when its damage becomes excessive, but be mindful that each transfer triggers an explosion.
- Quickly move away from the target of Detonate: Arcane Orb, which deals more damage the closer players are to the impact point.
Damage Dealers

- Transfer Mark of Frost to an ally when its damage becomes excessive, but be mindful that each transfer triggers an explosion.

Adventure Guide Entry
The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Spellblade Aluriel encounter in The Nighthold.
Aluriel always had an affinity for magic. She rose through the ranks of the Nightguard effortlessly, having a natural talent with the sword. But no matter how strong she became, she wanted more. She studied with the mages at the University of Suramar, spending her days in combat training and her evenings in the artificery. She forged her weapons and armor in the Nightwell, weaving magic spells into the precious metals. She is the first Spellblade, adept in the schools of Fire, Frost and Arcane.
