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.

Spell Level

Spell arcane blink [Blink] 7
Spell nature polymorph [Polymorph] 18
Spell mage conjuredmanapudding [Conjure Refreshment] 22
Spell frost frost [Ice Block] 26
Slow Fall 32
Spell frost iceshock [Counterspell] 34
Ability mage timewarp [Time Warp] 65
Spell arcane arcane02 [Spellsteal] 72

Specializations

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

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

Talents

Talents become available at level 15, with a new tier unlocked every 15 levels. Only one talent can be chosen from each tier.

Template:Mage talents

Honor talents

Honor talents become available at level 110. Only one honor talent can be chosen from each tier.

They can be swapped out any time outside of combat, in rested areas, or during the beginning of a PvP match. Other situations require the use of Inv relics libramofgrace [Tome of the Tranquil Mind].

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.
