Damage

Mage in WoW Forever

Magi are wizards of immense knowledge and skill. Their obvious physical frailty is deceptive, for they can call upon the cosmic energies of the Twisting Nether. Rarely do magi engage in melee combat. Instead, they prefer to attack from a distance, hurling powerful bolts of frost and flame at their unsuspecting enemies.

Racial abilities and the races that may take each class come from the installed Forever beta client, read from its CharBaseInfo table and the racial skill lines.

ABILITIES & SPELLBOOK

Mage abilities and skills

Explore the spells behind the class.

354 spells the Forever beta client lists for this class, from 355 class ability links. The client also holds unused and unfinished spells, so not every one is confirmed in game. Rank labels come directly from the client, and each rank has its own spell ID. Spell levels are the client's, not verified trainer requirements.
