The master of every infernal worries not about its death, but that it might survive too long.

Inferno is an warlock AoE spell that summons an infernal and requires an [Infernal Stone]. Once in the infernal is summoned, it will automatically be under the effects of Enslave Demon for one minute, after which it will die. Inferno has a cooldown period of ten minutes. An Inferno has a permanent [Immolation] aura that breaks CC. In Alterac Valley players tend to over estimate an Infernal's strength and can be used as a rather effective distraction target.

Inferno has a 100% spell power coefficient.

Source

This spell can be learned from [Grimoire of Inferno] or the quest Template:Questclass. However it is much easier for high level warlocks to get this spell through the book rather than the quests. The book has a roughly 3% drop rate from Scarshield Warlocks in Lower Blackrock Spire, and should drop after 1 or 2 runs.

Cataclysm

Inferno will no longer replace your current minion. Instead, the Infernal will attack the target of Bane of Agony or [Bane of Doom].
