+==Patch changes==
-'''Master of Elements''' is a popular PvE talent for any talent build with more than 15 points in the [[Fire]] tree. It restores up to 10/20/30% of the mana cost of any spell that critically hits one or more targets (so [[AoE]] spells such as [[Flamestrike]], [[Cone of Cold]] and [[Blast Wave]] are affected by this talent). Since most mages critically hit between 20 and 40% of the time this talent is equivalent to an effective mana cost reduction of all spells which can critically strike.

-Other talents that reduce mana cost include Arcane Focus, which reduces mana cost of Arcane spells up to 3% directly, [[Elemental Precision]], its Fire and Frost equivalent, [[Arcane Concentration]] which works out to about a 10% reduction (on all spell types), and [[Frost Channeling]] which directly reduces the mana cost of all spells by up to 10% (depending on talent rank). In addition [[Pyromaniac]] also reduces the mana cost and increases the critical strike chance of all [[Fire]] spells by 1%/2%/3%.

-For [[channeled]] spells that deal damage in ticks such as [[Arcane Missiles]] and [[Blizzard]], the mana returned is based on the tick that critically hit, and not the entire spell.  For example, Arcane Missiles in its higher levels deals damage in 5 ticks: it will only return 10/20/30% of 1/5th of the cost of Arcane Missiles and not its total.  However, because these two spells have high mana costs, Master of Elements can still go a long way in conserving mana for a mage who uses either.

-==Past changes==
-[[Patch 3.0.2]] changed this talent to affect all spells, not just Fire and Frost ones.

-==Bugs==
-Where previously it did not, Patch 3.0.2 allowed Blizzard to inflict critical strikes on its damage ticks- thus, Master of Elements could work with Blizzard.  However, in [[Patch 3.0.3]], Blizzard spell crits no longer triggered Master of Elements, though the talent still stated that it would refund mana with any spell crit.  There is no documentation that this is intended for Master of Elements and Blizzard.  This only affects Blizzard, as Arcane Missiles (also a channeled spell) and other AoE spells still work with Master of Elements.
