Mage abilities are abilities used by mages. Most abilities are shared between all specializations, while some are only specific to one (or two) specializations. Mage abilities use three schools of magic: Arcane, Fire, and Frost.

Class

All mages automatically learn the following spells at the specified level, regardless of specialization. Portals and teleports are listed in another section of this article.

Specializations

The three mage specializations are Arcane, Fire, and Frost (all caster DPS).

For a summary of the character and strengths of each spec, see Mage specializations.

Talents

Talents become available at level 15. Only one talent can be chosen from each tier.

They can be swapped out any time outside of a rested area using Inv relics libramofgrace [Tome of the Tranquil Mind].

Template:Mage talents

PvP talents

PvP talents become available at level 20. Up to 3 PvP talents may be active at any given time (with additional slots becoming available at levels 30 and 40).

These talents are active in the open world with War Mode turned on, as well as during instanced PvP. They have no effect in dungeons and raids.

Glyphs

Glyphs are items that can change a spell or ability's visual appearance. Most glyphs are crafted by scribes, are color-coded by class, and can be applied as early as level 11. They can be removed at any time outside of combat using Inv misc dust 02 [Vanishing Powder].

Teleportation

Mages can learn to teleport themselves and open up portals for their party members for instant travel to friendly capital cities by visiting a portal trainer. Portal trainers are typically found nearby the mage trainers in each capital city. Since patch 5.0.4, neither teleports nor portals require reagents.

Extra spells

These spells are alternate versions of trainable spells, functionally identical, but possessing a different icon or other cosmetic difference. They are learned through books or given as quest rewards.
