All threat generated by the archon is applied to you. (Cost: 20 sp, Duration: 300 seconds)

Summon Archon receives only 50% benefit of your Spell Power. It benefits fully from arcane / radiance lore. The Spell Power / lore effects active while you summon your archon affect it during its entire duration.
