Half a second faster than Classic. Rank 7 is a 2.5 sec cast.
Shaman spellbook
Every spell on the demo character's spellbook at level 38, tab by tab. 22 tooltips were read off the footage; the rest show the Classic text until someone hovers them in beta. Seen on Savix 4:51:42; Xaryu 5:33:35 and 5:34:53.
Abilities worth knowing about.
Also half a second faster: rank 1 is a 2 sec cast, 6 sec cooldown, 3 targets, each jump 30% weaker. Max Elemental Alacrity brings Lightning Bolt to the same 2 sec.
New. Pick a spot up to 30 yd away and your totems move there, not just to your feet. Seen on Guzu's stream: a green circle on the ground, then the totems appear by the mob. Totemic Recall is in too.
New: drops up to four totems from your Totem Bar in one 3 sec cast.
Base cast is 2 sec now, down from 3 in Classic. Improved Ghost Wolf takes 1 sec per rank and lets it work indoors, so at 2/2 it is instant: that is what Guzu's tooltip showed. Readers caught both halves of this.
A spell now, not a totem: 30 yd range, instant, 10 sec cooldown, and it blasts everything within 10 yd of your active Fire totem (rank 3 does 206 to 231 at 38). Improved Fire Nova trims 2 sec off the cooldown. Read on Esfand's stream.
Notes on this spellbook.
- New: Call of the Ancestors, Call of the Elements, Totemic Projection and Totemic Recall. Totemic Projection is ground-targeted: your totems move to the spot you pick, up to 30 yd away.
- Fire Nova is a spell with ranks now (rank 3 by 38), not a totem: 30 yd, instant, 10 sec cooldown, hits everything within 10 yd of your active Fire totem.
- Faster bolts: Lightning Bolt rank 7 is a 2.5 sec cast and Chain Lightning 2 sec, half a second quicker than Classic before any talents.
- Earlier than Classic: Chain Lightning by 38 (Classic: 32). Windfury Totem and Windfury Weapon are both in.
- Weapon buffs last 60 min: Rockbiter and Flametongue Weapon both read 60 minutes on footage. Flametongue on your main hand turns off Flametongue Totem's benefit for you. Frostbrand and Windfury Weapon still show Classic text until we see them hovered.

About the labels
Demo text means the tooltip was hovered on stream and transcribed. Classic text means it was not, so the 1.12 tooltip stands in and may be wrong for Forever. Numbers include whatever gear and talents the streamer had.
