How to get it
A high-skill alchemist brews it from Black Lotus. The recipe is sold by capital-city alchemy vendors. Keep a raid stash on x5.
Who needs it
Ideal for a warlock (Destruction/Shadow with DoTs) and a shadow priest — a direct boost to Shadow Bolt, Corruption, Pain and Devouring Plague. The fire equivalent is Elixir of Greater Firepower; the universal option is Greater Arcane Elixir.
x5 tip: pair it with Flask of Supreme Power on key bosses and a guardian elixir for survivability — the slots do not conflict.
