Reading Mage ability changes
Start with your character level, then compare the ranks you can learn. The same ability can have several ranks with different learning levels, costs and effects; a higher rank is not automatically available to a lower-level character.
New, changed and removed labels compare the recorded Beta build with the Classic Era baseline. Expand a changed rank to see the previous text beside the Beta effect. Removed entries describe the baseline ability, not a skill confirmed available in Beta.
Talent-granted abilities depend on your allocation. Use the talent simulator to check prerequisites, and open an ability detail page to compare every recorded rank without the list filters. Missing learning levels and attribute-dependent values remain explicitly unconfirmed.
