Like, they make bombs out of it? Is that it?
Basically it makes you feel like this:

It appears to amplify any latent or known behavior traits and skills of the user. In before the storm, Anduin feels a warmth like the light but very peaceful. Sylvanas feels a sense of unbridled power.
Itâs almost as if the Azerite is the missing element - or perceived missing element - for everyone who comes into contact with it.

Itâs like Super Soldier serum but worse.
Edit: Yvenathilm is typing, Iâll bet you anything heâs gonna say itâs Old God blood.
Edit 2: I was wrong.

The only ones with power who even have a desire to claim more Azerite than they already have are Gallywix and Ashvane. Sylvanas of course feigned a desire to claim Azerite yet her cut the Alliance off from the Azerite plan was nothing more than a farce and her real goal was to burn Teldrassil for the goals of the true enemy.
Azerite seems to fill anyone who comes into contact with it clever and cunning plans that are all sound. The reason for this is unknown yet Azerothâs dream warned Ysera of the Hour of Twilight so Azeroth has(probably flawed) knowledge of the future somehow.
As to itâs appearance: itâs golden and blue for the same reason the sample of Argusâs blood is green and magenta so⊠no idea. I wonder what the blood of other Titans looks like.

One might argue that since it comes from Azeroth herself, itâs possibly a sort of super-concentrated mixture of Arcane and Spirit power.
Hence when it comes into contact with something, its Spirit imparts vivifying properties to a subject, while its Arcane energy imparts an accelerated stability to the subjectâs inherent properties. Strong materials become stronger, explosive materials become more potently explosive, magic becomes more powerful, etc.
The increase in âcunningâ that may be arising from exposure to it could possibly result from the Azeriteâs Arcane nature amplifying an individualâs capacity for organizing and formulating their thoughts. After all, in WarCraft the association between Intellect and the Arcane is more than just an RPG game mechanic. In-lore the latter can amplify and expand the former just as much as the former allows one to use the latter.
Most of the Titans had a specific power that was coupled with the Arcane, in one way or another. Eonar was very clearly Nature + Arcane, as an example. Argus seemed to be Death + Arcane, though Iâm not sure if that was nature or a result of being used by the Legion. Iâd argue Azeroth is a combination of Light and Arcane given the gold and blue color of Azerite.
I bet Eonarâs blood, Eonite, wouldâve been green and blue.
Best analogy ever. Also, no way this Azerite crap isnât actually Câthunâs blood.
A magic super-ore that gives visions of what could be; âItâs surface blazes bright, masking shadows belowâ; the color scheme of it is nearly identical to his (blue and gold); Sargerasâ sword came down right on where he is sealed; âThe King of Diamonds has been made a Pawnâ; âFrom the Earth he (Magni) draws strength. Our Earth. Our Strengthâ; and best of all âYouâre Heart (Heart of Azeroth) will Explodeâ.

Itâs whatever the writer needs it to be

The ultimate mcguffin that is being wasted by the current writers, literally this thing can do anything to enhance the user both in power and intelligence, to amplified weapons/spells to crazy levels and itâs capable of resurrecting powerful beings as we see in the dark irons questline with the cult of Ragnaros trying to resurrect him with Azerite

Itâs really just a mcguffin, it has no actual properties of its own that matter. When you put it with literally anything else it just becomes do more do gooder.

Blue = Arcane.
Gold = Light.
Titans are associated with the Arcane already, and standing in liquid Azerite heals you. Thatâs how I figure it.
Anyway, Azerite is âMacGuffiniteâ. It does whatever they need it to do in a given situation.
So what does Argusâs Green and Magenta represent? Obviously the Green means Fel or Death but what does Magenta represent?
As I understand itâs basically a universal steroid. Want a bigger boom? blow âem up with azerite. Need better inventions? A cup of Azerite juice will get the brain pumpinâ. Struggling with cooking? A pinch of Azerite is just what the recipe calls for. Sharper swords, stronger spells, more hair? Azerite can do it all! Call now and weâll double your order FREE! Thatâs right double the Azerite at no extra charge, cause thatâs how Azerite works.
Magenta = Shadow/Void.
Green = Fel.
Off topic but stopping them from bringing back Ragnaros is one of the saddest things ever for me. The line from the fire golem boss in Vault of the warden made me a little sad everytime i heard it. " So⊠long⊠where is my Lord of Fire, why does he not answer my call?"

Even if Ragnaros were brought back the new Firelord is already in place and has accumulated power in the meantime. Ragnarosâs only way of salvaging everything is using his supporters to make one desperate invasion of the Abyssal Maw(which would be a 3 Zone Continent) serving as of itâs Zone villains(with other Villains being Ahune and the last being someone new).
AlâAkir could also be brought back and obviously heâd fit quite well as the villain of 1 Zone in a Skywall Continent with Sarsarun being the villain of another Zone(the 3rd Skywall Zone would probably have itâs own villain).
Due to the reactions of Anduin and Sylvanas and of what weâve seen it do, I assume itâs a generally enhancing power. Not of one particular power except maybe arcane. Like, whatever it is you have, you can slap Azerite on there and it would enhance the thing you had before. Fire magic? Now you have Lava magic. Ice Magic? Now itâs a frozen storm.
Maybe those are exaggerations, but itâs to get the point across. It also seems to be fairly explosive as well, as itâs commonly used as an alternative to gun powder. Or,⊠maybe theyâre mixing it into the gun powder to enhance itâs explosive properties.
Basically it appears to have the effect of amplifying/enhancing the properties of whatever its mixed with.

They are still alive, Ragnaros can easily return with Azerite or when the black empire returns.
What I am more concerned is how blizzard will justified to not use the azerite to bring back some characters or make then more op, for example Xalatath could start to consume azerite to make herself stronger or Kelâthuzad could use that with some old friends
