Comprehend Scroll

Ability · Baseline New

Classic

New ability in Forever.

Forever Comprehend Scroll

Decipher an untranslated scroll.

Details

Comprehend Scroll is a new instant utility action for deciphering an untranslated scroll within five yards. It appears in the General tab of a demo Skyborne Mage. The captured tooltip does not explain how scrolls are obtained or whether access extends beyond the demonstrated character, so no wider acquisition system is assumed.

Forever
5 yd range
Instant

Preview tooltip source: Soda's stream, 13 Sep.

Frostfire Bolt

Ability · Baseline New

Classic

New ability in Forever.

Forever Frostfire Bolt

A Fire-and-Frost bolt referenced by four talents in the preview. The standalone Forever tooltip and learning level were not captured.

Details

Frostfire Bolt is referenced by multiple Forever talents, establishing a spell that interacts with both Fire and Frost builds. The source describes it as a combined Fire-and-Frost bolt, but does not contain a captured standalone spell tooltip. Damage, cast time, range and school-resolution details therefore remain open rather than borrowing a later expansion's version.

Forever

Source summary; not a transcribed in-game tooltip.

Mage Armor

Ability · Baseline Changed

Classic Mage Armor

Increases your resistance to all magic by 5 and allows 30% of your mana regeneration to continue while casting. Only one type of Armor spell can be active on the Mage at any time. Lasts 30 min.

Forever Mage Armor

Increases your resistance to all magic by 5 and allows 50% of your mana regeneration to continue while casting. Only one type of Armor spell can be active on the Mage at any time. Lasts 30 min.

Details

Mage Armor allows 50% of mana regeneration to continue while casting in the preview, compared with 30% in the Classic description. It retains its resistance bonus and 30-minute duration. This strengthens its sustained-casting role while leaving the choice between mutually exclusive armor spells intact.

Classic Rank 1

Classic reference tooltip, same spell rank. Cost, cast and cooldown details were not separately recorded for Classic.

Remove Lesser Curse

Ability · Baseline Changed

Classic Remove Lesser Curse

Removes 1 Curse from a friendly target.

Forever Remove Lesser Curse

Removes 1 Curse or Bane from a friendly target.

Details

Remove Lesser Curse explicitly removes a Curse or a Bane in the preview. This matters because Warlock damage Banes are now separate from utility Curses. The tooltip still removes one effect; the new wording does not say it clears both categories at once.
