Mages are pure ranged casters with strong AoE, crowd control and burst. Forever adds Arcane Blast (an Arcane talent: a stacking buff to your other spells), Ice Lance (a Frost talent: 300% more damage on frozen targets) and Frostfire Bolt (a trainer spell at 40: a frost and fire hybrid bolt with a DoT and slow), plus Missile Barrage, Hot Streak and Fingers of Frost in the talent trees.

Arcane (Caster DPS)

Arcane in Forever is built around Arcane Blast, a tier 3 Arcane talent whose higher ranks come from the trainer: each cast stacks up to 4 times, increasing your other spells' damage by 10% per stack while raising Arcane Blast's own mana cost. Build stacks, then spend them on Arcane Missiles, which Missile Barrage can make free and twice as fast. Arcane Power, Presence of Mind and Evocation drive burst and mana.

Fire (Caster DPS)

Fire stacks Improved Scorch and Ignite, turns crits into fast Pyroblasts with Hot Streak, and uses Combustion for burst. Forever's Frostfire Bolt is a level 40 Fire spell that counts as both frost and fire, checks the lower resistance and adds a DoT and slow; Improved Fireball speeds it up just like Fireball. Incineration, now in the first row, boosts Fire Blast and Scorch crit, and Ice Lance and Arcane Blast too.

Frost (Caster DPS)

Frost is the safe, mana-efficient spec with Frostbolt spam, shields and control. Forever's Ice Lance, a tier 3 Frost talent, deals 300% more damage to frozen targets and gains crit from Winter's Chill and Shatter, and Fingers of Frost lets it hit as if the target were frozen, so the shatter combo (freeze, then Ice Lance) is now a big part of both PvE trash and PvP. Cold Snap resets your defensive and freeze cooldowns.
