Talents
Each Mage spec has its own five-row talent tree. Open the spec pages above for the full trees, or plan a build in thetalent calculator.
Spell names, costs, cooldowns and talent text are read from the game client (v0.21, checked 2026-10-30). The developer calls the numbers “first-pass tuning”, so expect them to change.
