All Mage portal spells in World of Warcraft

No other class can get from place to place as easily as Mages.

Mages have always been a valuable addition to World of Warcraft groups, and a big reason why is the convenience that they can bring to other players through the use of quick and easy transportation. Portals are the most straightforward way to travel in World of Warcraft, and Mages can create them out of thin air.

There are dozens of portal spells available to WoW players, with most of them being restricted to factions’ capital cities, although certain others can be used to travel to neutral destinations. If someone in your group is looking for a portal, you won’t have any shortage of places to send them. 

It’s a common courtesy, also, for Mage players to create a portal to the neutral capital of the current expansion (Valdrakken for Dragonflight, for example) following the completion of a grouped activity such as a Mythic+ dungeon or a raid. If you’re a Mage, the act of learning portal spells, while not totally necessary—considering there are portals pretty much all over Azeroth—is something that you’ll want to invest some time and gold into. They’ll make transportation across the world much easier for you than other classes. 

Below, you’ll find all of the portal spells available in WoW, sorted by faction availability and listed in order of relative newness.
