Arcane Brilliance is a very long-lasting intellect buff that affects an entire party at once. The spell takes one reagent, [Arcane Powder], and costs quite a bit of mana to cast. The buff lasts 60 minutes, which is twice as long as the single-target equivalent 
[Arcane Intellect].

- 1. Arcane Brilliance (Rank 1) is trained by Mage trainers. There is also the [Tome of Arcane Brilliance], a drop from level 60 dungeons, but it is no longer needed for training.
- 2. Arcane Brilliance (Rank 2) is trained by Mage trainers. There is also the [Tome of Arcane Brilliance 2], a drop from level 70 dungeons, but it is no longer needed for training.
Notes
The intellect buff granted is equivalent to the final ranks of [Arcane Intellect] with the only difference being duration and group-wide effect. Rank 1 grants the same intellect as Arcane Intellect (Rank 5) and Rank 2 grants the same buff as Arcane Intellect (Rank 6).
Party buffs follow these rules when cast:
- The spell target must be friendly, in line of sight, and in range of the caster.
- If the target is flagged PvP, the caster becomes flagged.
- The target gains the buff.
- Group buff splash - With some exceptions†, all characters in the target's party, including pets, that are within 100 yards of him also gain the buff. This effect is not limited by line of sight. As a result, the caster can buff people at triple the spell range.
† Characters will be excluded from the group buff splash if they are lower than the spell's trained level, or are flagged PvP when the caster is not.
Exclusion by PvP status disrupts raid preparation; typically, the raid will wait for flags to expire, or order the buffing classes to become flagged themselves.
There is a minimum level for players to receive this buff. Rank 1 will only affect party members level 51 or above.
The reagent [Arcane Powder] stacks to 20 and can be purchased at any reagent vendor for 10 each.
The Mana cost appears to depend on the character level. The actual cost for your character may be different.
Tips and Tactics
These spells are rather expensive in mana. The one hour duration, combined with the fact that you don't have to carefully stagger castings of [Arcane Intellect], make them very worthwhile nevertheless.
Intellect buffs are only useful to players that use mana (all but warriors and rogues). If a group has two or fewer mana users, consider using the single target [Arcane Intellect] to save mana and reagents by buffing only those that need it. However, the shorter buff will have to be refreshed more often.
