Chromie's Infinite Knowledge

The Bronze Dragonflight keeps a spellbook outside time: every skill mortals have ever learned, each inscribed under the class whose magic it mirrors. The book you are holding is that spellbook, translated for the real world.

Every entry below is a real World of Warcraft Classic spell and a real human skill. Ranks work the way they do in game: the same spell, learned deeper. The book currently holds 59 skills across 177 ranks, and it is never finished.
