Preview tooltip source: Xaryu's Warlock, 12 Sep.
Details
Curse of Agony becomes Bane of Agony, separating the damage-over-time effect from utility Curses. A Warlock can maintain one Bane and one Curse on the same target, rather than choosing between Agony and a utility Curse. The escalating 24-second damage pattern remains in the captured tooltip; its rank-4 total is a demo value.

Bane of Doom
Places a delayed Curse on a non-player target. After one minute it deals 3,200 Shadow damage; a killing blow from this effect can summon a Doomguard. This Classic ability requires level 60.

Source summary; not a transcribed in-game tooltip.
The source identifies Curse of Doom as renamed to Bane of Doom and separates Banes from Curses. No standalone Forever tooltip was captured.

Source summary; not a transcribed in-game tooltip.
Details
Curse of Doom is also renamed as a Bane, sharing the new damage-effect category with Agony. The category split allows a Bane alongside a Curse, but does not mean the same Warlock can stack multiple Banes on one target. This source has no captured Bane of Doom tooltip, so its exact timing, damage, restrictions and secondary effects remain unverified.

Subjugate Demon
Subjugates the target demon, up to level 45, forcing it to do your bidding. While subjugated, the time between the demon's attacks is increased by 40% and its casting speed is slowed by 30%. Lasts up to 5 min. If you repeatedly subjugate the same demon, it will become more difficult to control with each attempt.

Details
Enslave Demon is renamed Subjugate Demon. The captured rank 1 controls a demon up to level 40, versus 45 in the exported Classic comparison, while retaining attack/cast-speed penalties and a maximum five-minute duration. The preview still consumes a Soul Shard and warns that repeatedly controlling the same demon becomes more difficult.

Summon Incubus
Modern Classic Era already has Summon Incubus. Blizzard's 1.14.4 notes corrected a mana-cost discrepancy between that spell and Summon Succubus; the notes do not provide a full summoning tooltip.

Source summary; not a transcribed in-game tooltip.
Details
The Forever preview lists Incubus separately from Succubus, and multiple Demonology talents name both demons. Incubus was already available in modern Classic Era, as Blizzard's 1.14.4 patch notes confirm, so it is not a Forever-exclusive new summon. Its Forever cast time, cost and pet abilities are not verified by the source's Classic fallback tooltip.

Curse of Recklessness
Curses the target with recklessness, increasing melee attack power by 45 but reducing armor by 290 for 2 min. Cursed enemies will not flee and will ignore Fear and Horror effects. Only one Curse per Warlock can be active on any one target.

Preview tooltip source: Xaryu's Warlock, 12 Sep.
Details
The preview removes the Classic increase to the enemy's melee attack power while keeping armor reduction. It still prevents fleeing and causes the target to ignore Fear and Horror effects. This preserves its control trade-off without explicitly strengthening the enemy's melee attacks; the displayed armor reduction remains rank- and snapshot-specific.

Physical damage caused by the target is reduced by 18 for 2 min. Only one Curse per Warlock can be active on any one target.
Preview tooltip source: Xaryu's Warlock, 12 Sep.
Details
The preview explicitly limits the curse to Physical damage and shows 18 damage reduction at the captured rank 4, versus 15 in the Classic comparison. Because Agony is now a Bane, this utility Curse can coexist with it on the same target. The numerical increase may include character modifiers; the visible Physical-damage wording is preserved in the comparison.

Create Spellstone
Creates a Spellstone for the caster. When equipped and used, the Spellstone removes all magic effects from the caster and will absorb 400 magic damage for 1 min. In addition, equipping the Spellstone improves your chance to get a critical strike with spells by 1%.Conjured items disappear if logged out for more than 15 minutes.

Preview tooltip source: Soda's Warlock, 13 Sep.
Details
The Spellstone changes from an equipped off-hand item with a magic-dispel/absorb use effect into a weapon enchant. At the captured rank 1, the new enchant adds 1% spell haste and up to 14 Shadow spell damage. This moves its purpose toward sustained spell offense and removes the need to infer its behavior from the old defensive off-hand tooltip.

Preview tooltip source: Xaryu's Warlock, 12 Sep. The removed Classic Improved Healthstone talent could account for the same 20% increase; its incorporation into the baseline spell is an inference.
Details
The captured rank-3 Healthstone restores 600 health, compared with the Classic base value of 500. Classic's Improved Healthstone talent could increase healing by 20%, but that talent is absent from the Forever preview tree. The matching increase is consistent with incorporating its old benefit into the base spell, though the source does not explicitly confirm that explanation; the displayed healing is therefore kept as an observed value.

Periodic critical strikes
New ability in Forever.
Pandemic rank 1 increases the critical-strike damage bonus of Corruption, Bane of Agony, Bane of Doom, Drain Soul, Drain Life, Siphon Life and Drain Hope by 33%. This implies periodic critical-strike support for those spells; the complete global rule is not documented in this snapshot.

Source summary; not a transcribed in-game tooltip. Inference from the Pandemic talent description, not a standalone in-game ability tooltip.
Details
Pandemic explicitly increases the critical-strike damage bonus of Corruption, Bane of Agony, Bane of Doom, Drain Soul, Drain Life, Siphon Life and Drain Hope. This is evidence that the Forever design expects critical damage from these periodic or channeled spells, giving critical-strike chance a new interaction to consider. It is an inference from a talent description, not a captured global combat rule; it does not prove that every damage-over-time effect on every class can critically strike.

Details
This name appears on the second Affliction spellbook page with a placeholder scroll icon, but no one hovered it in the cited footage. It is not represented by a corresponding talent in the source trees. Its name alone does not confirm a usable Metamorphosis form, tanking specialization or any particular effect; the tooltip remains unknown.
