The Focusing Iris

The Focusing Iris

The Focusing Iris is an orb found in the center of The Eye of Eternity and is used to summon Malygos.

Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects

Malygos had used his own blood to activate and control this orb, which had lain dormant for millennia. With the open Focusing Iris, Malygos had been able to direct powerful surge needles, using them to pull arcane magic from Azeroth's ley lines and channeling that magic into the Nexus.[1] The slain Arygos' blood was used by Aedelas Blackmoore to use a surge needle (with energies flowing from the Nexus) to animate Chromatus.[2]

The Demon Soul

Cataclysm This section concerns content related to Cataclysm.

As part of the Dragon Soul raid introduced in Patch 4.3, player will have to get the Focusing Iris so the Dragon Aspects can refocus their power into the Dragon Soul to use the Demon Soul artifact against Deathwing.[3]

Notes

It was previously mentioned that once harnessed, the energies are focused through the Nexus' ascending rings and blasted into the Twisting Nether.[4] In Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects, this function of the Nexus is not mentioned. It is implied that energies are stored there.
