'''Rogue spellbook''' records 24 spell-rank entries across 16 named abilities with source-listed learning levels 1–20. It is a reference to the Forever beta export, not a rotation or a claim that every entry is obtainable from a class trainer.<ref name="data">Chris Baldwin, [https://talentsforever.com/rogue Talents Forever], [https://talentsforever.com/data.json CC BY 4.0 export], generated 19 September 2026; reviewed 20 September 2026. Spell records identify Forever beta client 1.60.1.69876. Adapted and reformatted; game text and artwork belong to Blizzard Entertainment.</ref>

<div class="fw-notice">'''Read the values in context.''' The source renders beta tooltips at level 60 without gear. A listed low-level rank does not mean its displayed damage, healing, or Mana cost was measured on a character at that learning level. Client text may also lag live tuning.</div>

== Coverage and evidence ==
Only class-tab entries with an explicit beta source flag and a learning level from 1 through 20 are shown. Talent-gated entries, records marked for alternative acquisition, General-tab demo data, Classic fallback tooltips, unknown learning levels, and higher-level ranks are excluded. Pet abilities can appear in the source class tabs. The remaining list is not a complete acquisition guide.<ref name="data" />

The export does not include an in-game city-trainer check for this class. These entries remain source-reported client data.<ref name="data" />
