Arcane Blast and Presence of Mind are both Arcane talents in Forever, so they are here because the demo Mage had them talented. Not baseline.

Comprehend Scroll is a new General ability, seen on Savix's Skyborne Mage.

The Frost tab was shown with every rank listed; the highest rank of each spell is what is recorded here.
