Versions and translations

The talent calculator uses the October 22, 2026 community export for 1.60.1.70425, including the author’s October 20 Mage hotfix overlay. It contains 465 talents and 45 checked community plans. Older saved plans are mapped only when exact identities and current point rules agree. The public spellbook presents ability effects and conditions; its source records and credits remain here. Saved builds retain their level and point-allocation rules.

Chinese pages retain English names for lookup. New names marked as provisional translations may differ from official localization.
