The full Mage talent catalogue: all 31 published Arcane, Fire and Frost nodes with their rows, columns and change status through Beta build 1.60.1.69913.
31 matching talents · positions and ranks carry field evidence; tooltip gaps stay visible.
No reviewed previous client-build snapshot is available for this catalog, so no talent change since a prior Beta build is claimed here. Official change notices on individual records are separate from a client-build diff.

Data sources, verification & planning limits
Talent positions and ranks are client records. Build allocations are editorial examples; performance is not simulated. Prerequisite rank rules may be derived assumptions.
Blizzard's October 1 Beta development notes raised the playable cap to Level 30. These 11-point Mage routes preserve the initial Level 20 snapshot, and no Level 30 allocation is verified here.

Every Mage node published by both sources, grouped by branch and then by change status: new in this build, changed from Classic, unchanged, or change status not agreed. Each entry shows the verified row and column, and the client evidence badge that covers positions and ranks.
A node only reaches this catalogue when both sources state it. Identity that appears on one source alone stays unpublished, and a spell that appears only inside another node’s tooltip is described as text in a tooltip, never as a tree node.
How the Fire entry point was verified
Fire publishes 12 nodes, including Improved Fireball as its row-1 entry point. The two derived web views agree on its identity, row, ranks and zero-point gate but disagree on its display column.
The build 1.60.1.69913 client Talent table resolves that display-only conflict to column 2. The source disagreement remains recorded in the import report, together with the primary-client resolution, instead of being hidden or repeated as an error under every Fire node.
Reading the change status
Change status is published only where both sources agree; otherwise the node is listed as change status unknown. Change status describes the talent data, not the builds — a build being new or changed is an editorial statement and is labelled as such on the build pages.
