Arcane spells, mana costs and casting windows

The leveling study direction explains progression. Talent points are not tied to character levels, and this is not a fastest-leveling claim.

A continuous route from zero, with no respec steps. Check any existing allocation first.

Sources and editorial method

Effects and structure use the community 70532 snapshot and October 23 hotfix cache. Chinese is a site translation; each step exposes the English original. The site authors the order; the source does not publish these complete routes. Thirteen routes repair conflicts; forty-one retain their order with current effects checked. All still await editorial and gameplay review.
