Mage Abilities (WoW)  

The three paths of specialization that Mages can pursue are Arcane, Fire and Frost.

Arcane is more of an utility and support tree. While it does deal with damage, it mostly bolster the Mage's mana generation and abilities. Arcane is the also the path with the most non-damage dealing abilities.

Fire is a heavy destruction path, dealing on ability with powerful front load damage as well as long lasting burning effect.

Frost is about survivability. While Frost mage can still dish out punishment, they are mostly known for being incredibly resilient and hard to corner.
