Show all ranks

talent tag = an ability a talent grants. It shows in your book once you take the talent.

Small numbers under a spell are the level each rank is learned at.

Numbers are the beta client's at level 60 with no gear on, so your in-game tooltip will read a bit higher. Show all ranks works like the checkbox in the game's book. The General tab is kept by hand; each tooltip there says where it was read.
