Mage macros
Mages are powerful spellcasters who harness the forces of magic to rain destruction upon their enemies. They specialize in the elements of frost, fire, and arcane, and are able to conjure food and drink, teleport across great distances, and create magical barriers. Mages are the ideal class for players who enjoy a more cerebral and strategic approach to combat.
21 macros
#showtooltip /cast [mod:shift,@mouseover,help][mod:shift,@player] Arcane Intellect(Rank 1) /cast [@mouseover,help][@player] Arcane IntellectBuffs whoever is under your cursor, falling back to yourself. Holding Shift casts Rank 1 instead, which is the cheap version you use on a low-level alt you are dragging through a dungeon.
#showtooltip /cast [mod:shift,@cursor] Blizzard(Rank 1); [mod:alt,@cursor] Flamestrike; [@cursor] BlizzardDrops Blizzard at your cursor, Rank 1 Blizzard on Shift for cheap stealth detection, and Flamestrike on Alt. Three ground spells sharing one key with no targeting circles.
#showtooltip Counterspell /stopcasting /cancelaura Ice Block /cast [mod:shift,@mouseover,harm,nodead][] CounterspellStops your cast, drops Ice Block if you are sitting in it, and interrupts. Coming out of a block straight into a kick is a standard arena and duel play.
#showtooltip /cleartarget [dead][help] /targetenemy [noexists] /cast [mod:ctrl] Frostbolt(Rank 1); FrostboltDrops a dead or friendly target, grabs the nearest enemy and casts Frostbolt — Rank 1 while Ctrl is held, which is the cheap kiting version.
#showtooltip /castsequence reset=4 Conjure Water, Conjure FoodConjures water on the first press and food on the second, always at the highest rank you know. One key replaces two that need updating every few levels.
#showtooltip Counterspell /stopcasting /cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] CounterspellCancels your cast and kicks whatever your cursor is over, falling back to your target. Counterspell is worthless if it arrives late.
#showtooltip Iron Grenade /use [@cursor] Iron GrenadeThrows your grenade at the cursor with no targeting circle. Replace the item name with whichever grenade you carry.

#showtooltip Arcane Power /use 13 /use 10 /cast Arcane Power /cast Presence of Mind /cast PyroblastUses both trinket slots and your head slot engineering item, then chains Arcane Power, Presence of Mind and an instant Pyroblast.
#showtooltip Evocation /equip [noequipped:Staves] Soulkeeper /cast Evocation /equip [equipped:Staves] Hypnotic Blade /equip [equipped:Staves] Spirit of AquementasSwaps to a high-Spirit staff, evocates, then swaps your damage weapons back. Spirit drives how much mana Evocation returns, so the swap is worth real throughput.
#showtooltip /cast [mod:shift,harm,nodead] Frostbolt(Rank 1); [harm,nodead] FrostboltCasts max rank normally and Rank 1 while Shift is held. Rank 1 Frostbolt applies the same slow for a fraction of the mana, which is how vanilla Mages kite.
#showtooltip Ice Block /stopcasting /cancelaura Ice Block /cast Ice BlockCancels your cast and blocks, then drops the block if you press it again. Ice Block clears most debuffs, so getting in and straight back out is often the point.
#showtooltip /castsequence reset=10 Ice Armor, Arcane IntellectAlternates Ice Armor and Arcane Intellect on a short reset, so one key covers both of your standing self-buffs.
#showtooltip Polymorph /cast [mod:shift,@mouseover,harm,nodead][mod:shift,harm,nodead] Polymorph(Rank 1) /cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] PolymorphSheeps whatever your cursor is over, or your target. Holding Shift casts Rank 1, which lasts just as long and costs far less mana.

#showtooltip Pyroblast /use Talisman of Ephemeral Power /cast !Arcane Power /cast !Presence of Mind /cast Pyroblast /cast FrostboltFires your trinket, Arcane Power and Presence of Mind, then an instant Pyroblast, falling through to Frostbolt. The signature vanilla Mage opener.
#showtooltip Remove Lesser Curse /stopcasting /cast [mod:shift,@player][@mouseover,help,nodead][help][@player] Remove Lesser CurseDecurses whoever you are hovering, your target, or yourself while Shift is held. Curses in vanilla raids land on people you are not looking at.
#showtooltip /cast Polymorph /stopcasting /use [@player] Heavy Runecloth BandagePolymorphs your target and immediately starts bandaging yourself. A cheap heal in a duel or while soloing, with no mana cost at all.
#showtooltip Arcane Missiles /cast [nochanneling:Arcane Missiles] Arcane MissilesRefuses to recast while the channel is running, so mashing the key cannot clip your own Arcane Missiles and throw away ticks.
#showtooltip Shoot /cast !ShootKeeps your wand firing no matter how often you press the key. Wanding is a real part of vanilla mana management, and cancelling it by accident wastes damage.
/target Owatanka /cast Fire BlastTargets a specific rare spawn by name and instantly Fire Blasts it, so you get the tag before anyone else. Replace the name with whichever rare you are camping.
#showtooltip /use Mana Ruby /use Mana Citrine /use Mana Jade /use Mana AgateTries each mana gem in turn, so one key always uses whichever you are actually carrying. Saves four bag-clicking buttons on your bars.
