Spells by School

Arcane Spells

Fire Spells

Frost Spells

Spells by Function

Damage spells

Single-target Damage

Frostbolt for ice-based single target damage (and a snare); Fire Blast for instant fire damage (and brief cooldown); Fireball for a big whopper of fire damage. Scorch is another fire-based spell which has a short casting time and does good damage. Arcane Missiles are channeled over 5 seconds, with one wave of arcane damage fired each second and can be uninterruptable by normal damage with talents.

With talents, Pyroblast can be acquired. It is basically a slow-casting, huge Fireball with a large DoT component.

Area Damage

This category of spells includes your first AoE spell: Arcane Explosion, an instant cast arcane point blank area of effect; Blizzard, a channeled ground target area of effect cold spell; and Flamestrike, a fire-based ground target area of effect spell.

Blast Wave (another talent spell) is an instant cast, point blank area of effect fire spell which dazes the enemy. It has a moderate cooldown (45 seconds).

Defensive spells

Snare and Root

Frostbolt snares the enemy, and Frost Nova is a point blank area of effect root which also inflicts a small amount of damage.

Frost Armor (and later, Ice Armor) gives the Mage both an armor buff and a reactive debuff to enemies that hit the Mage in melee, along with a small resistance to ice magic. Attackers are snared and slowed.

Crowd Control

Polymorph allows the Mage to turn a Humanoid, Beast or Critter into a sheep, pig, or turtle (depending on the spell used) for a certain amount of time.

Damage Absorption

Mana Shield allows the Mage to absorb physical damage taken with mana, at a 2:1 rate (50 damage = 100 mana). A talent can reduce the mana usage.

Fire Ward absorbs fire damage; Frost Ward absorbs cold damage.

With talents, Ice Barrier can be acquired. It's an instant cast shield that protects you from all damage types up to a limit or 1 minute, whichever comes first. It has a short cooldown (30 seconds).

Mage Armor increases resistances to all schools of magic while also allowing mana regeneration during the Five second rule.

Miscellaneous

Slow Fall - a "defensive" spell of sorts - protects against falling damage.

Utility Spells

Intellect Buffs

A very good buff for the Mage (and any class that uses mana) is intellect. Mages have two flavors of these: Arcane Intellect and the group version, Arcane Brilliance. Since intellect affects the rate at which all weapon skills are gained, non-casters might appreciate it too.

Conjuration

Conjuring Mana Stones gives you a stone that acts as a free mana potion on a separate cooldown from your other potions. These stones can not be shared. Food and Water of varying levels can also be conjured for restoring health and mana, and is an important preparation for reducing downtime for a solo mage or an entire raid.

Evocation

The fastest way to regenerate your mana, Evocation can refill the majority of your mana bar over the course of its 8 second cast. Be sure not to be at risk of getting hit, since this is a channeled effect.

Teleport Spells

Self

This includes the Teleport: <Capital City> spells as well as Blink.

Portals

Creates a portal that can be clicked to instantly move your group to a friendly city.
