Warlock abilities are mana-based spells hailing from three schools of magic: Affliction (slow and steady damage), Demonology (summoning of demons and magical stones), and Destruction (high-burst damage). Some spells require the use of a Soul Shard for casting.

The first two tables cover abilities learned from trainers and abilities learned from warlock talents. The abilities are then organized by their various functionalities. The last table displays abilities learned by the warlock minions. For detailed information on each spell and its rank advancements, click on the spell's title.
