Arcane damage is chiefly dealt by one of the types of [[Wizard skills]] including [[Magic Missile]], [[Arcane Orb]], [[Disintegrate]], [[Arcane Torrentdamage]]in Diablo III. It is purple in appearance, and [[Energy Twister]].

During development [[Critical hits]] scored with Arcane damage would "[[silence]]" enemy targets. (Silenced targets can not cast , preventing mages from casting some spells, such as a [[Skeletal Summoner]] or [[Goatman Shaman]] resurrecting fallen minions.)
