About the Author
Malon has been throwing spells at bad guys since 2005. He raids with <Emerald Omen> on Stormscale-EU, and dreams of having a Mage trainer named after him. He would also like to get the Warlock class renamed to 'Fuzzy Cuddlebears'. He's not sure which is more realistic.

Night Fae Arcane Mage Covenant Abilities
Night Fae Arcane Mage Class Ability:
变易幻能
The Night Fae are the guardians of nature; if the Emerald Dream is life in its summer, Ardenweald is its twilight. Arcane Mages who align themselves with the Night Fae gain
变易幻能
, a point-blank AoE spell that reduces the cooldown of all of our other Mage abilities.
Shifting Power is very, very strong for Arcane, as the majority of the spec's damage revolves around cooldowns like
奥术强化
and
大法师之触
. Having these abilities available more often is a huge boon in any type of content, and you should be using it any time all of your major abilities (
奥术强化
,
大法师之触
,
唤醒
and
能量符文
) are on cooldown and not active (i.e. do not use it in the burn phase).
We can use the
林地律法
Conduit to enhance Shifting Power, which increases the cooldown recovery from the spell. This is a reasonably strong second Conduit for Arcane Mages who aren't running
奥能回响
, and in AoE.
Night Fae Arcane Mage Signature Ability:
灵魂变形
Night Fae Arcane Mages can use
灵魂变形
, an instant movement speed increase and teleport, with a built-in teleport mechanic you can use every few seconds. This is an amazing mobility tool, even though Arcane already has good mobility with
闪现术
/
闪光术
and
操控时间
, as the spec can't save instant spell cast procs like Fire or Frost to reposition. It's less useful if we use
气流
, but
闪光术
is the meta choice.
Legendary Interactions for Night Fae Arcane Mages
Arcane's strongest legendary powers,
奥术祥和
and
奥术轰炸
, don't rely on cooldowns, so there's no interaction to be had. It does make
风暴虹吸
stronger, but this is still behind Harmony/Bombardment. The effect on
时霎扭曲
is also negligible.
Having Frost Nova available more often makes
恐怖冰锥
stronger, but again this is not as strong as other Legendary effects even with the cooldown reduction.

Night Fae Arcane Mage Soulbinds
All Night Fae players have access to the same three Soulbinds:
Niya
,
Dreamweaver
and
Korayn
. They are the NPCs you complete the zone story with, and allow you to 'attune' yourself to them to gain access to a tree of upgrades centered around your base toolkit (through Conduits) and Covenant abilities (through special, game-wide traits).
This tree progressively unlocks based on completion steps (such as finishing the campaign) and your Renown level with the Venthyr Covenant.
We've summarized the optimal traits for each Soulbind below, along with potential Conduits to use. Bear in mind that Endurance and Finesse Conduit choice will largely depend on which encounter you're progressing on, as their value changes dramatically based on the requirements they enforce.
Niya has a strong damage trait, and two more situational ones:
林地复兴
grants a stacking buff when we deal damage that grants maximum health and Mastery.
变易幻能
grants eight stacks, and has such a low cooldown that it should be active frequently. This is a very strong ability for Arcane, but not worth playing around.
尼娅的工具：毒药
applies a DoT to any target you interrupt, and deals a burst of damage to them if they're interrupted again in 30 seconds. A good damage boost if you can interrupt on cooldown, but very minor otherwise.
尼娅的工具：锉刀
has a chance to afflict damage and a snare to enemies. A very reliable source of damage that requires missing the second Potency slot.
An example tree to follow is as follows:
At the opening of Castle Nathria, you'll have unlocked one of Niya's Potency slots and
林地复兴
, which is where the majority of her power comes from. The second Potency slot will still be several weeks away.
Dreamweaver is an interesting Soulbind: not only for his abilities, but for having an earlier second Potency slot than any other in the game:
灵茧守护者
is Dreamweaver's opening ability; a cheat death effect on a 10-minute cooldown. Far more useful than other on-death Soulbind traits like
炉脉幻想
or
岩石效命
, it returns you to life at maximum efficiency - though takes 10 seconds to fully activate. Any Mythic raider can tell you how useful a cheat death is:
灸灼
is one of Fire's strongest progression tools.
蝴蝶效应
is a great trait - again, Versatility is incredibly good for progression raiding - but means missing a Potency slot. Social Butterfly is strong enough to justify this, but only until Dreamweaver's tree is totally filled out; at maximum Renown a second Potency is available.
繁华原野
increases Haste by 12% every time we use
变易幻能
, which is really powerful considering the ability's short cooldown.
An example tree can be seen below, but it's not set in stone - just make sure to pick up both Potency slots:
Dreamweaver is an excellent choice of Soulbind, with two early Potency slots, a cheat death effect and a really powerful damage trait as his capstone. You should use him between Renown 13 (when he unlocks his second Potency slot) and Renown 25 (when Niya unlocks hers). While he's slightly behind Niya in terms of theoretical damage output, the difference is marginal, and
灵茧守护者
could be very useful in progression raiding.
Korayn has an excellent opening trait - strong enough to justify using him over either other Soulbind by itself, even though most of her other abilities focus on utility.
荒猎团战术
is a flat 10% damage buff to targets above 75% health, which generally accounts for the majority of most bosses' first phase. I don't need to tell you how powerful dealing 10% more damage in your burst phase is.
争先打击
grants a critical strike buff if you hit an enemy before they can hit you, but means skipping a second Potency slot - it's not strong enough to justify that in normal raiding, but is really strong in Mythic+.
Korayn's tree is mostly about enhancing defences and movement speed, like
荒猎号角
and the supremely underwhelming
勇面敌人
, but Wild Hunt Tactics makes up for the weakness of her other traits. In Mythic+, take First Strike.
Best Night Fae Arcane Mage Early Soulbinds
The best Night Fae Soulbind changes as we gain Renown. Niya starts out strong, but the balance shifts to Dreamweaver at Renown 13, and back to Niya at Renown 25 - though the early second Potency slot and
灵茧守护者
keeps Dreamweaver as a very viable choice for Castle Nathria progression.
After Renown 25 you can use Niya's second Potency slot with
奥术奇才
(or
林地律法
without Arcane Echo) until you can switch to Korayn.
Dreamweaver overtakes Niya between Renown 13 and Renown 25, due to his early Potency second slot.
Night Fae Arcane Mage Rotation Changes
This page only highlights the specific use case of the class and signature abilities. To see how they fit within the context of the entire spec, we encourage you to check the other pages in the guide related to the context you are looking for:
Arcane Mage Rotation Guide
As mentioned above,
变易幻能
is a really strong tool in the Arcane arsenal. You should use it whenever all of your major abilities (
奥术强化
,
大法师之触
,
唤醒
and
能量符文
) are on cooldown and not active. That means no using it in the burn phase.
You can also use Shifting Power in the opener (just one tick) to enable Dreamweaver's
繁华原野
.
Night Fae Arcane Mage Talent Builds
Choosing the Night Fae Covenant doesn't affect Arcane's talent choices at all. It does make
能量符文
and
奥能回响
stronger, but they're the meta choices anyway.

Night Fae Arcane Mage Gearing Differences
There are no gearing differences from choosing the Night Fae Covenant. It doesn't increase the power of any trinket, weapon or particular stat.

What are Soulbinds in Shadowlands?
Soulbinds are important Covenant characters players encounter in the Shadowlands. Soulbinds bind themselves to players allowing them to use their powers to strengthen characters while in the Shadowlands.
