All three Mage 51 Talent pointers, "Living Bomb", "Deep Freeze" and "Arcane Barrage" are to be replaced completely:

FIRE

Staff of Agni
Requires 50 points in Fire Talents
Requires Staves
6% of base mana
2.5 Sec cast

Transforms your staff into the Staff of Agni increasing damage done by fire spells by up to 200 and your chance to crit with fire spells by 15%. The sheer power of Agni considerably drains your mana over time, however all crits made by your fire spells and made against you restore 15% of your total mana.


FROST

Absolute Zero
Requires 50 points in Frost Talents
350 Mana - - - 30 yd range
Instant cast

A slow freeze manifests the target causing 821 to 904 Frost damage after 12 sec. In addition when the Absolute Zero spell ends, an explosion of ice blasts around the target freezing enemies in an 8 yard radius of the target in place for up to 8 sec. Damage caused may interrupt the effect. If Absolute Zero is dispelled, the spell will end prematurely and inflict the damage and effects on the dispeller instead.


ARCANE

Mass Teleport
Requires 50 points in Arcane Talents
30% of base mana - - - 120 yd range
5 sec cast - - - 2 min cooldown

Teleports you and your party to a chosen destination up to 120 yards away from the caster. Only usable outdoors.



Please Note: These changes are not live on Beta as of yet and are likely to change/be tweaked before appearing. Also, only Deep Freeze and Living Bomb have been replaced and removed whereas Arcane Barrage may appear as a trainable talent, albeit slightly tweaked.

Not only an all caps thread title, but also misleading fictional post content.
