Arcane Surge
Consumes Mana for heavy damage and grants a powerful Arcane burst state; Mana Cascade reduces its cooldown.
Orb Barrage
Replaces the first Arcane tier-seven choice. Arcane Barrage has a 15% chance per charge spent, up to 60%, to launch one automatic Arcane Orb.
Mana Cascade
Each 1,000 Mana spent reduces Arcane Surge, Touch of the Magi and Arcane Orb cooldowns by 0.5 seconds; partial spends accumulate.
Arcane Blast
Build Arcane Charges; each charge increases power and cost. A successful cast begun at the four-Charge cap automatically spends the capped pool with Arcane Barrage.
Clearcasting
Automatically casts Arcane Missiles and, when talented, Supernova on proc; neither can recursively trigger Clearcasting.
Arcane Missiles
Each missile splashes reduced AoE and may trigger Arcane effects.
Arcane Barrage
Consume charges, cleave and reduce Arcane Orb cooldown. A successful Arcane Blast begun at the four-Charge cap automatically casts Barrage to spend those charges.
Arcane Orb
Travels forward and builds Arcane Charges. Spending each charge automatically launches one 25%-strength quick Orb, up to four per spender cast; Arcane Barrage reduces the full Orb cooldown.
Nether Tempest
Periodic Arcane damage to the target and up to 20 other enemies within 10 yards of the target and in line of sight. Haste increases tick frequency without shortening its 12-second base duration.
Supernova
Clearcasting automatically casts Supernova at the target when this talent is known; its damage cannot recursively trigger Clearcasting.
Prismatic Barrier
Absorbing damage restores Mana equal to 5% of the amount absorbed and heals you for another 5%, providing reliable solo sustain.

Cauterize Recovery
While Cauterize's burn is active, heal for 30% of maximum health and end the burn.
Fireball
Critical strikes build Heating Up as normal.
Hot Streak
Automatically cast Pyroblast at the proc target, or Flamestrike when at least three valid enemies including that target are within 8 yards and line of sight of the target; keep Hot Streak for manual use if no valid target is in range and line of sight.
Pyroblast
Automatic casts may feed Heating Up and Hot Streak at reduced chance with bounded chains.
Ignite
Fire DoT spreads aggressively; faster ticks preserve base duration. Haste makes this periodic effect happen more often without shortening its base duration.
Flamestrike
Hot Streak selects automatic Flamestrike instead of Pyroblast when at least three valid enemies including the proc target are within 8 yards and line of sight of that target.
Living Bomb
Periodic Fire damage, explosion and spread; faster ticks preserve base duration. Haste makes this periodic effect happen more often without shortening its base duration.

Target-area explosion spreads Ignite; crits reduce Combustion cooldown.
Fire Blast
Usable during casting; crits may trigger reduced-damage Phoenix Flames.
Combustion
Critical Fire damage and Hot Streak procs reduce cooldown.
Meteor
Massive impact leaves burning ground; no implicit custom HASTE.
Flame Patch
