Mage abilities
- For mage abilities and talents on Classic servers, see Mage abilities (Classic).
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.

Hero talents
Hero talents are a new feature coming in The War Within, and will become available at level 71. They can be changed at any time outside of combat, except during a PvP match or Mythic+ dungeon. A talented ability cannot be changed while it is on cooldown.
A new point is gained at each level, so that every talent node can be unlocked at level 80.
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 [Vanishing Powder] (level 80 and lower) or the [Dust of Disappearance] (level 81 and higher).
Variant spells
These spells are alternate versions of trainable spells, with identical functionality but possessing a different icon or other cosmetic difference. There are also several other miscellaneous spells which provide other effects. They are learned through books, items, or given as quest rewards.
