WoW Forever Spells

About these counts

Of the rows that read the same on the tooltip, 427 show the same tooltip on both sides; what differs is engine-internal columns (base level, spell level, duration index, or a cooldown moved between the client's two cooldown columns; badged "internal"), and 311 show the same tooltip on both sides; what differs is effect data no tooltip line prints (an aura or effect type, an added effect; badged "same tooltip").

Only spells a player can reach are listed: class, racial, profession and pet abilities, talent effects, and the spells items and enchants cast, plus what those trigger. Creature copies of a spell and internal developer rows changed too but have no page. The client stores one spell per game effect, so an item spell carries its item name. A crafting spell that makes an item has its page under Recipes instead, with the item, reagents and skill levels. A spell that is the effect of one item with the same name has its page under Items instead, with its cast time, cooldown and changes.

63 developer rows (names marked Deprecated, DNT, DND, NYI, (OLD), [PH], test, QATest, debug, zzOLD, "Monster - ", test gear such as "90 Epic Warrior Helm", the "Durability" test set or "Monster Weapon", "OLDMonster - ", "Copy of", QA, Nax PH, [TMP], glued Test, QA or OLD such as "TestBoots", "QAEnchant" or "OLDRecruit's Belt", Test and a digit such as "MHTest02", placeholder anywhere, a name that is just "Template Item" or "Unused", or a zone the client marks unused or as a placeholder, or places on its Development Land or test maps) also differ between the builds. They are Blizzard's own scaffolding, not game content, so they are not listed here or in search; each keeps a page.

252 more removed spells are Classic Era recipe or class book "learn" spells that only taught another spell, so they are not listed here or in search; each keeps a page.

14 more Classic Era spells have no data in the WoW Forever client, which still grants them, or a same-name spell of their class, through other spells, so whether they changed is unknown; they are not listed here or in search, and each keeps a page.

60 more new spells have no tooltip text in the client and no skill line or talent lists them, so they are not listed here or in search; each keeps a page.

32 more spells carry the client's internal Season of Discovery "S03 - " label, so they are not listed here or in search; each keeps a page.

257 more spells are the passive spells of a talent, so they are read on the talent's page and not listed here or in search; each keeps a page.
