The latest patch notes can always be found at The latest test realm patch notes can always be found at It is also now triggered by landing any harmful spell rather than inflicting damage with a spell. Black Magic: This enchantment now sometimes increases haste rating for the caster rather than inflicting the caster's target with a damage-over-time effect.

The caster must be within 30 yards of the totem to use this ability, but does not need to be within line of sight of the totem. Fire Nova will activate a 1.5-second global cooldown when used and has a 10-second spell cooldown. With a Fire Totem active, shamans will be able to use Fire Nova (fire magic) to emit the same area-of-effect damage as the old Fire Nova Totem from the active Fire Totem, not consuming the totem in the process. Existing characters will automatically learn this new spell in place of the totem.

Blizzard has just released the patch notes for the Patch 3.3 PTR.
