Coldflame Saber

1. 1Decipher untranslated scrolls until one gives you the Scroll of the Saber. It most likely comes from the scrolls that need Comprehension 15; nobody has confirmed which. Farmerfarms got his on the 119th scroll.

Against frozen targets

Each melee hit on a frozen target deals 98 more Fire damage (Frostburn). The client lists no spell power scaling for it. In Farmerfarms’ video, a player says it grows with spell power; we have not checked it.

What freezes them

With the Saber in hand, you freeze a target with Frost Nova, or with Frostbite, which gives your Chill effects up to a 15% chance to freeze for 5 seconds. Fingers of Frost lets your next spells act as if the target were frozen; whether it also triggers Frostburn is not tested.

Scroll of Imbue Spark

The Saber is a sword, so the Scroll of Imbue Spark works on it: when an enemy hits you in melee, your Fire Blast cooldown can reset. The tooltip says “Flame Blast”, but the cooldown it resets is Fire Blast’s.

Scroll of Imbue Iceknife

The Scroll of Imbue Iceknife can also freeze on hit, but it goes on a dagger, and a mage cannot wield a dagger and a sword at the same time. It does not go with the Saber.

Comprehension

Learning it

Your mage trainer teaches Comprehend Scroll from level 6. It is a skill of its own, like a profession, and it goes up to 300 as you decipher.

Untranslated scrolls

Their names are nonsense, like “Scroll: KWYJIBO”, and only a mage can read them. Many creatures drop them: Wowhead lists 200 for the first kind alone, at 0.2 to 4% each.

Study

Once an hour, Study gives you a Bundle of Scrolls with a few scrolls in it, for one Light Feather. You need a library: players found Undercity’s in the inner ring of the Magic Quarter. They learned Study by bringing a book to Garion Wendell in Stormwind City or to Owen Thadd in The Undercity; where to find the books is in our library books guide.

Library Shelf

Library Shelf, in the client, turns your camp into a library: you put it up next to a campfire. How you get it is not known yet.

Bundle of Scrolls

A bundle holds several scrolls at once. How often each scroll was in the 17 bundles opened on Wowhead:

Every scroll

Which untranslated scroll gives which scroll is up to the server. The client gives each scroll a level, and there are four levels, one for each kind of untranslated scroll; the bundles confirm the first. Deciphering can also give scrolls any class can use.
