Abilities by level

Level	Ability	Cast	Effect
1	Auto-Rotation	Instant	Casts the best spell for your specialization right now. While this is on your action bar it also highlights the recommended spell, so you can cast it yourself instead. Doing that costs nothing — only casts made by pressing this button carry the 25% longer global cooldown.
1	Cast Line	Instant	Cast your fishing line at a point on the water.
1	Runic Shot	Instant	Loose an Intelligence-attuned arrow etched with a compact force rune.
2	Arcane Winch	Instant	Fire runic cables from a compact coil, hauling up to six nearby non-boss enemies toward you and slowing everything caught.
4	Volatile Charge	Instant	Lob a makeshift arcane explosive that bursts across a small area.
6	Runic Barrier	Instant	Snap a warding plate into alignment, absorbing incoming damage for 8 seconds.
8	Countermeasure	Instant	Disassemble one harmful Magic effect from an ally or one beneficial Magic effect from an enemy.
10	Arc Discharge	0.8 sec cast	Chain current through separated enemies, jumping up to 260 units between victims. Useful when a single ground blast cannot cover the group.
12	Grapnel Step	Instant	Fire an arcane line and vault toward your hostile target.
14	Infused Armament	Instant	Passive. Weapon hits discharge stored arcane force. Active automatically while learned.
16	Emergency Plating	Instant	Project temporary armor over your leather, reducing damage taken for 7 seconds.
18	Overclock	Instant	For 12 seconds, attacks are 18% faster, cast times are reduced by 0.3 seconds, damage increases by 15%, and Intelligence and Vitality increase by 8.
20	Masterwork Surge	Instant	Synchronize every attunement for 15 seconds, increasing Intelligence, Vitality, and all damage dealt.
