The mage update!

Included in today’s patch is an updated spell book with more information about each spell including a description and targeting options. All spells were reviewed for progression/balance/utility. Please see notes below for details.

After you’re done exploring changes to spells, get ready to head to the frozen lands in the Talazar’s Revenge expansion for a holiday event! The Christmas Grinch has turned hard working Snow Elves and Reindeer into evil, lazy creatures – but not all is lost! You can hunt them for gifts, or try to melt the Grinch’s frozen heart and gain his treasure! Beware his helpers...

Note: The Holiday Event is a high level event. Angry Snowmen are still a low/mid level mob, but they do not drop special holiday prizes. It will be open Dec 20th through Jan 1st.
