This page contains links to every single mage resource I’ve been able to locate. It covers everything from leveling your new mage all the way through to raiding and PVP. It also provides links to places where you can find mage advice, some of the best mage blogs out there and where to go for further information.
This list will never be complete, as new information emerges all the time. If you spot something that’s worth inclusion, or if you’re a writer yourself that wants to share something, feel free to drop me a mail or add a comment at the bottom of the page.
Thanks to Zelmaru at Murloc Parliament and Gnomergeddon at Armageddon’s Coming for providing much of the information here.

Hey, thanks for this resource, and for including our site. A quick correction: our site isn’t strictly for fire mages. We chose the name because it was a mage ability that tied in with our feminist approach to the game, but our site is for mages of any flavor.
Thanks for the note! I’ve updated your entry, but please let me know if you’re unhappy with the wording still and I’ll change it accordingly.
