I’m sure Buerghes already has plenty of adoring minions ready and willing to kiss him better. I’d offer, but I would be WAY down the list. What are his healing abilities like? Or is the eye patch going to be a permanent fashion accessory?

isei-silva:

Being addicted to mana now after his stay in Suramar and indulging recklessly has left Beurghes with compromised healing abilities. His body is in inner turmoil between the arcane energies and his nature magics, unable to find balance one trying to constantly dominate the other and ending up volatile when using his spells. There is a definite strength to his spells when on the offensive, don’t get me wrong, but it’s like tossing around grenades with the strength of a small nuke – too much bang for its intended purpose.

When healing, however, this unsteady reaction often means that the arcane flowing through him ends up chaotic and in violent disarray over the magic of nature he actual wants to use. It won’t get far before short circuiting and crumbling after a certain point. Beurghes is unable to heal himself properly. That’s why he covers his ruined eye, there is only a ghastly wound of gnarled half-healed flesh with angry arcane lines cracking through the folds.

It is also why he is more desperate than ever to grow some kind of copy Arcan’dor he can use. If the tree is the perfect balance of Nature and Arcane, then perhaps it’ll help bring the same to himself before he literally falls apart.
