This is, at the moment, the Blood Elf priest racial skill.

Commento di Mikezila

This seems kind of...bad.

Eat one of your own buffs for a little mana. What if you eat Fort? Or Arcane Int? Or Renew? You could end up screwing yourself over.

This seems too useless for me to even find a place for on my hotbar.

Commento di 9250

Unless Blizzard changes current (live) game mechanics, this spell will consume a debuff at random, which makes it completely useless. If it dispels the most recent buff, this could be useful when combined with a low-rank inner fire to create some decent mana regen on a two minute cooldown, but as it stands, risking losing fort, motw, or ai isn't worth it.

Commento di Mikezila

What would really be nice is if they made this eat Mana Tap instead of a random buff. I know it would give Priests two ways to get mana back via Mana Tap, but I don't think that's overpowered.

It would be cool.

Commento di lcbdeke

This spell racks up so at level 70 you get more than at level 20.

Can it eat Spirit Tap?

Commento di 28988

while i cannot say for certain this is very similar to the druid swiftmend ability (consume a heal over time for instant health).

swiftmend always consumes the hot with the least remaining time, even if it's not one you casted, so this ability may not be as random as it seems.

Any1 WTB fear ward instead? >.<

Commento di peeweesweden

I'd take Fear Ward and Desperate Prayer over this any day. Of all the priests, the blood elves are the ones getting the most screwed over, tightly followed by the night elves.At least the night elves get ONE useful spell (at least if you solo as a holy build). The blood elf spells are both utter, utter crap.

If you want a horde priest - don't chose blood elves.

At least if you'd consume a debuff, or a buff on your target, then it'd be useful for something.

This dispells one priest spell at random at random. As a Blood Elf priest, you have up to 6 (possibly 7) edible spells. Fortitude, Spirit, Inner Fire, Touch of Weakness, Renew, and PW: Shield. I havent tested Mana Tap. At level 70, as seen in the screenshot, this returns about 470mana. Think about this, Blood Elf priests now have THREE mana return spells, plus Vampiric Touch if you go shadow. This spell, in my opinion, is very useful. In a tight spot this spell can be used to give you that extra heal or mindblast that you need. You dont have to worry about it eating your MotW or Int, because this only eats the spells you cast on yourself. So you might loose a fort if you're unlucky, or you might loose your InnerFire, which you can easily recast once the fight is over.

Consume Magic is learned at level 20 via trainer (no quest like the original priest racials). Just to clarify what it does:

-It dispels a magic buff the priest can cast, then instantly restores mana.
-The buff is chosen at random: you cannot "rig" your buffs so Consume Magic gets a specific one.
-Procs are not consumed. Spirit Tap, Focused Casting, and so forth will not be targeted by Consume Magic.
-Despite what the screenshot says, Mana Tap cannot be consumed. Touch of Weakness, however, can.
-The amount of mana restored increases with level, but is not affected by your gear or stats.
-It does not matter what buff is consumed. The spell can cost 25 mana or 1000, but the amount you get is the same.
-If you have no legal targets for Consume Magic, you'll get a standard "There is nothing to dispel." error.

More useful in PvE than PvP (where losing Inner Fire or Fort could be fatal), the spell can provide a decent mana boost when needed. It can be used in conjunction with Arcane Torrent and a Mana Potion to really help when out of mana (it even has the same cooldown as both Torrent and Potions). Still, Draenei made out much better than Blood Elves. Symbol of Hope gives more mana than Consume Magic to the priest alone (about 100ish more at 70). But Hope also gives mana to four other party members. The only advantages of Consume Magic is that it has a third of the cooldown of Symbol of Hope, it's instant cast and Symbol of Hope is probably vulnerable to dispel effects.

shadowform is dispellable?

Commento di 9085

Actually,for a shadow priest,I found this move EXTREMELY helpful.

First off,when I grind pve,like just dashing back and forth between mildly challenging mobs,I use no buffs because they are a waste of mana and time. Fort helps not much at all since I really don't stop fighting when I'm about out of health,I stop fighting when I'm about out of mana. So what I do is I put on innerfire rank 1 and consume magic. IT helps for me to have the ability to grind out and kill almost 20 mobs without stopping.
Second off, it gives more mana than is listed,that 70 that is screenshotted must be on a private server,cause its consuming mana tap,and is getting the wrong amount of mana for it. I'm level 53 on my priest and I'm already getting more than that in mana with consume magic.

If it wasn't for consume magic,I wouldn't be able to grind as fast as I do,my best records for leveling are with my BE priest.'

Edit:and the guy who was worried about it eating Arcane intellect and Mark of the Wild,it only consumes priest buffs so that isn't even a worry.

Commento di 59310

I have found this ability extremely useful in PVE. It's great in instances and great in raids, and it's nice to use in conjunction with your other cooldowns like mana pots, shadowfiend and arcane torrent.

The thing that I don't like about this spell or the symbol of hope spell is that making new priest racials is how Blizzard dealt with the mana inefficiency of the priest class. The spells are extremely useful, yes, but shame on blizzard for not dealing well with existing priest demands for more mana efficiency. Cooldown on shadowfiend should be lower, imo.

Commento di Merowlin

I do use this spell a lot. However thanks to this spell, I rarely, if ever, cast a buff on myself (except low mana cost buffs for when im going to consume them with this spell). It's a bad habit/side effect - that this spell creates, and it seems to be the same for most BE priests who actually use this spell.

I regret that I didn't roll Undead, an extra DoT would had been a lot more helpful (especially since shadow is the most wanted spec today).

Well... the grass is always greener on the other side (bad excuse, but I guess it works for the people who refuse to accept such an idea as the racials being trained by all priest races).

I'm tired of Undead getting more useful racials... I'd rather consume magic be an extra hot or Dot.

Commento di 114104

Possibly one of the most under-rated and under-used spells, which is a shame.

It scales excellently with level, and generally with standard Priest buffs on (PW:F, Inner Fire, Touch of Weakness), it will always give back more mana than these cost.

It has saved my life and a long walk so many times, always gives enough to PW:S/Psychic Scream/Finish off killing a mob.

Also, it has a way cool animation + sound, possibly one of the best looking spells in the game.

Protip to all Priests: Use it when in need.

Commento di 26892

With 2.3, the costs of buffs such as Power Word: Fortitude have been reduced, making this spell a bit better.

If you are low on mana, but have no buffs, it is best to use Rank 1 Touch of Weakness, as it costs a mere 25 mana...something any Priest at level cap should be able to afford.

Commento di Xtian

I agree with many that this is underrated, especially across some of the more popular blogs. I think it really shines as an OOM-Panic! valve in the following situations:

PVP - usually you lose all your health before your mana. Especially as a priest (i.e. - primary target). In the event that you are out of mana, people are still probably beating on your face, which means that a) your inner fire is probably down, and b) your health is probably low enough that a change to your fortitude, while affecting your max HP, won't actually harm your current HP, since they'll be lower than your unbuffed Fort value anyways. (if I'm wrong about the way PW:F works when dispelled, then ignore this part).

PVE group - losing a buff here sucks, especially if you're losing your spirit buff, but mostly when you need mana ASAP, the extra spirit isn't going to get you enough, and your normal regen should let you finish the encounter. If you lose one of your defensive buffs, the hope is of course that you don't need them anyways, and as you get into heroics/raiding situations, inner fire is not going to make much of a difference since you're getting two-three shotted at best.

PVE solo - Mostly the same arguments as in PVP. If you're in a fight where you're OOM, then the mobs have already or soon will eat through your IF, and your PW:F is only buffing your max HP, not your current HP. I don't mind rebuffing myself later after I've had a chance to drink if it means getting the extra mana when I need it.

I agree that the Draenei Symbol looks mathematically better (no personal experience), but as a Horde holy priest, I think Belfs are the way to go.

Consume Magic restores 660-694 mana at Level 70, if someone was wondering.

EDIT:
Found out today that as of Patch 2.4 Consume Magic does "eat" Spirit Tap :)

Commento di 138629

I love this racial! My buddy said blood elves make the best rogues, but the worst for everything else because I kept rolling blood elf for all my classes (they look awesome). However, I feel blood elves make excellent PvE priests because of this racial. I'm only level 24 but it's saved a group member on two occasions already! Since it only eats a priest buff, it's like free mana every two minutes because priest buffs have no use for healing, just survivability. Consume mana/Flash heal FTW >:D Better than Draenei's racial because the cooldown is much shorter.

Commento di sunra

Since 2.4 this spell can consume any buff thats on your priest, mana tap, leader of the pact, devo aura, ect. Since the skill itself still states that it can only consume priests buffs, its safe to assume its a bug that came with 2.4.

: It can allso consume nothing if u have no buffs on.

Commento di 97322

A note to all my shadowpriests out there, if you do dailies with only Shadowform you get about 29 mp/5 (694 / 24), because shadowform can NOT BE DISPELED, therefore i can get a free 29 mp/5 with this, def. win

Edit: Today it was dispelling it, yesterday it wasn't. everytime i hit that darn button its a case of "Are you feeling lucky, Punk?"

Commento di Alexi

This ability is fantastic for blood elf shadow priests.

I'd recommend leveling without any buffs up and then just using consume magic on spirit tap when it only has a few seconds left.

Later on when you get Shadowform you can do the same thing. It always seems to consume spirit tap before Shadowform for me.

This is probably my favorite priest racial so far.

Commento di 159332

With this Blood elf priest spell you can have 3Mana tap's and use Arcane Torrent , then just cast this spell (cast low rank spell at 70 for lesser use of mana for the consume.) Good PvE and PvP for long arena battles ;)

Commento di Allakhazam

I'm surprised it isn't listed as a Blood Elf-only spell for priests... Hex of Weakness is correctly listed as a troll-only priest spell.

Commento di Allakhazam

In my opinion it looks like you could cast rank 1 power word: fortitude on yourself and dispel it for free mana

Commento di Allakhazam

anyone knows how to get this spell? and for which race?

Commento di Steelrain

As of 09.09.2021 this spell is bugged. I repeat. This spell is BUGGED and it will not work properly and trying to use it WILL make you angry, believe me. First off, it is already one of the weakest racial exclusive spells for tbc priests ever. For instance, human racial is about 100% better. When you try to cast it, then at least 50% of the time it will show the following message: "Nothing to dispell" and nothing will happen. That is despite the fact, that you have three priest buffs on you already. Blizzard can´t be bothered to fix this, they are more concerned about removing the spit emote ATM and everything else besides fixing this game. I switched off all my addons and it didnt help. I asked many other ppl wheter they were having the same issue and they did. I implore you, DO NOT roll blood elf priest, unless you want one of your abilities (which is already trash, lets be honest) to not work at all. You have been warned.

Dispels one beneficial Magic effect from the caster and gives them 120 to 154 mana. The dispelled effect must be a priest spell.
