One of the odder This [[Wizard skill]]s, seemingly is clearly designed for to enable a [[meleeWizard]] fighting to play in the Battle-mage style, going melee combat for better or worse. The Wizard. We donisn't know enough about really designed for that approach, but by pairing the melee damage with excellent equipment/weapon damage in general to have any idea if this is , and some intelligent defensive spell use, it may be a big bonus or notviable build. Nor do we know if this damage is boosted by attributes and +magical damage   ==Synergies==The following [[item modifierWizard passives]]s. If so it's possible that some [[provide a benefit to Magic Weapon, runed or not:{{skill description header}}<skill class="Wizard">Glass Cannon</skill><skill class="Wizard]] builds could deal very good weapon damage.">Arcane Dynamo</skill> 

On ==Development=='''Magic Weapon''' was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]], when the [[Wizard]] debuted. Back then, it was a Tier V skill in the [[Conjuring Skill Tree]]. Together with spells like the other handVERY similar [[Weapon Mastery]] (gone), there are enough limits on which classes can use which weapons that Wizards might be limited [[Damage Resistance]] (gone) and [[Spectral Blade]] (still in their ), it gave a hint of seeing the Wizard getting the capability of going [[melee damage no matter what they tried]].

==Skill Rank Table==* <blockquote>'''Rank 1:''' 25-35 One of the odder Wizard skills, seemingly designed for a melee fighting Wizard.

If so it’s possible that some Wizard builds could deal very good weapon damage. On the other hand, there are enough limits on which classes can use which weapons that Wizards might be limited in their melee damage no matter what they tried. </blockquote>

==Synergies=Beta===* None known.{{Beta skill notes}}

==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==* None <blockquote>''The damage added is fairly minor, certainly compared to just about any spell attack, and this is purely of use for battle mages. (As has been observed on the knownDiablo III legendary items, the amount of +%weapon damage found on gear is much lower than it was in Diablo II, and figures like +25-35% are the best to be found on even the Inferno-quality legendary items. Thus on that scale, +20% is a fairly big bonus, akin to something like +200% in Diablo II terms.)</blockquote>

==Development=Previous Versions===While See the [[BlizzCon 2008Wizard skill archive]] for more details on previous versions of Magic Weapon and other Wizard skills had several .<br> Or see [[meleeMagic Weapon (BlizzCon 2008)]]-related skills, most for the original version of those disappeared with the new [[BlizzCon 2009]] buildthis skill.

===In Other Games===Magic Weapon was first shown at is an modified version of [[BlizzCon 2009Diablo II]]'s {{iw|Sorceress Sorceress}} skill {{iw|Enchant Enchant}}, but was unfortunately too high level activated like a buff, rather than cast on a target (thus it’s only of use to try out by the fans. The skill is assumed Wizard and can not be shared to still be available in Blizzard's internal game build todayothers).
