Background[]
Adventure Guide[]
Archmage Sol was among the last holdouts of the Kirin Tor expedition at Violet Bluff, but ultimately succumbed to spores that took root in her brain. Perhaps a portion of her humanity remains buried deep within, but she now lives as a prisoner in her own body.
Overview[]
Archmage Sol casts spells from one school at a time, starting with Fire, then Frost, and finally Arcane. She periodically attempts to cast Parasitic Growth; interrupting that spell will cause her to shift to using a new magic school.

Abilities[]
- Parasitic Growth — The spores inside Archmage Sol's brain are trying to take further control. If successful, Archmage Sol's casting speed and damage dealt will be increased by 50%. In Heroic difficulty, when Archmage Sol switches magic schools, the lingering effects from her prior school will remain.
- Spore Image — Spore Images form every time Archmage Sol's cast of Parasitic Growth is interrupted and will continue to use the basic magic spell Archmage Sol had been casting. These images target enemies at random.
- Fireball — The caster hurls a ball of fire at the target, inflicting Fire damage. Victims burn for additional Fire damage for 9 sec. This effect stacks up to 3 times.
- Frostbolt — The caster hurls a bolt of Frost at the target, inflicting Frost damage. Victims of this attacked have their movement speed slowed by 20% for 10 sec. This effect stacks up to 3 times.
- Spore Image
- Parasitic Injection — Every time the caster changes their magical school focus, they are injected by the parasites that have taken root in their brain. Each stack of Parasitic Injection increases the damage the caster deals by 25%.

Arcane BlossomStrategy[]
A fairly simple "breather" fight before the intense Yalnu.
In her fire phase, she will summon orange plants. Get some distance from these. When they explode into rings of fire, jump over the rings.
In her frost phase, avoid the moving blizzard.
In the arcane phase, she will spam a huge arcane explosion. Burn her down while the healer heals through it.
