Where these come from
Nothing on this page was typed. The Mage trees — Arcane, Fire and Frost, 54 talents and 146 ranks between them — are read straight out of the game client's own tables, and every tooltip is the game's own template filled from the game's own numbers. A tooltip the pipeline could not fill is a build failure here rather than a shipped guess, so a sentence you read on this page is a sentence the client would show you.
Read from the Forever Raid Gear Checker beta client's own trait tables, build 1.60.1.69977, compiled 2026-09-23 — Blizzard publishes no talent page for this game, and the CSV mirror this site reads for other clients carries no Forever product, so these trees were pulled from the client itself. 51 points across 7 rows per tree by level 60.
The calculator above spends the points for you and keeps the rules: a row opens when the rows above it have enough points in them, a talent with a prerequisite stays shut until the prerequisite is filled, and the build rides in the address so a link you paste opens the build you made.
