I.Foreword
3rd guide but my first class guide. I have a 60 " Frost " mage myself so this guide will be mostly written out my own point of view. If u don't like it post something below or ALT+F4 if you like it give me some comment below. Additions may be PM'ed to me or posted below and ill add them offcourse.
II. What is a mage
Mages lived once in dalaran. Until the burning crusade crushed dalaran and mages spreaded all over azaroth. Dalaran is located in Hillsbrad foothills. but only is one big purple circle. maybe this will be rebuild by blizzard but hasn't and won't be in the near future. Mages are together with rogues best damage dealing class. But mages are better in damage and have a large arsenal of spells. Mages are not only excellent spellcasters they also have the best AOE spells ingame. They also have some croud control abilities like polymorph ( " Sheeping " ) and Frost nova. Imba class you say ? yeah only one downside: mages have almost no armor and hp. They can be 1hit ko'ed by rogues.But again they have some helpfull abilities in group. They can make food and water, Teleport and have a good intellect buff.
III. From 1-60
Mage can AOE grind:
* In group with a priest:
- Mage pulls ( a few )
- Priest fears ( aoe fear)
- Wait till all mobs are at the mage
-Frost Nova => Blink => Blizzard
-When they reach the mage you start spamming Arcane Explosion
- During all that priest Shields and spams heals on the mage
* Solo but then it is recommended that you are 40+ and frost specced ( ice barrier ) same strategie as above exept you pull em by running with your mount / blinking.
Do this with melee mobs! I got this AOE list from official wow forums.

IV. Spells
Mage spells come in several types: Ice, Fire, and Arcane. Each kind of spell type has different kinds of effecting spells, for example in Arcane there are lots of “supplementary” magic that is not directly offensive but can be utilized to good effects such as teleportation spells, polymorph spells and even blink.
Fire is a much more offensive style of magic that offers a very direct “punch” to the enemy with high DPS spells that can pack a real punch if the right talents are chosen.
Ice magic is something of a middle point, with spells such as Frost Armor that allow for something other then damage, while still maintaining a variety of offensive spells like frost bolt and blizzard.
