Battle Mage World of Warcraft: Forever beta

World of Warcraft: Forever gives mages a skill of their own, Comprehend Scroll: decipher unreadable untranslated scrolls and turn them into buffs, familiars and weapon imbues. The Scroll of the Saber is one of them: it turns the Blade of Silverlaine from Shadowfang Keep into the Coldflame Saber, a mage-only sword that deals extra Fire damage to frozen targets, made for the battle mage who fights up close.

Both the blade and the Saber need level 21 to equip.

Coldflame Saber

1Decipher untranslated scrolls until you get the Scroll of the Saber.It has the same item level as the Comprehension 15 tier scrolls, so it should be in that tier.

The scroll and the blade both bind when picked up, so the mage holding the scroll has to loot the blade. Tell your group before the run.

Against frozen targets: Melee hits on a frozen target deal 98 extra Fire damage (Frost Burn).
Freezing the target: Frost Nova freezes the enemies around you; the talent Frostbite gives your chill effects a 15% chance to freeze the target for 5 seconds.
Scroll of Imbue Spark: Scroll of Imbue Spark goes on a sword, so it fits the Saber: when you are hit in melee, it sometimes resets the cooldown of Fire Blast.
Scroll of Imbue Iceknife: Scroll of Imbue Iceknife also freezes enemies on hit, but it only goes on a dagger. Mages cannot dual wield, so it does not combine with the Saber.

The second weapon

Another scroll changes a level 57 dagger the same way.

Comprehension

Learning the skill: From level 6 you can learn Comprehend Scroll. Comprehension is a skill of its own that rises with deciphering, like a profession, up to 300.
Untranslated scrolls: These scrolls have garbled names, and their description says only mages can decipher them with Comprehension. The client has 17 of them, in 4 tiers by the Comprehension they need: 1, 15, 50, 175.
Learn: Learn can be cast once every 1 hour(s): it uses a Light Feather and gives a Bundle of Scrolls. You must be in a library to cast it.For the books in the libraries, see library books guide .
Library Shelf: Library Shelf summons a bookshelf next to a campfire so your camp counts as a library, once every 1 hour(s). The client does not say how you learn it.

Bundle of Scrolls

What Learn gives. Which scrolls are inside is up to the server and is not in the client.
