Learn something new everyday. Reading a post over at WOW Insider led me to this official forum post about priests. Apparently, you get different spells depending on which race you play. I was wondering why I had a quest that involved doing nothing that gave me a spell. Here’s a the bit about the spells, there’s also some other interesting info there if you play a priest.
Priests are the only class that gets racial spells at level 10 and 20 through quests given by priest trainers in major cities. There are multiple ranks of each spell that you can upgrade as you level. The highest rank of each spell is described below:
- Desperate Prayer (Level 10). (Dwarf/Human only.)
Rank 7 - Instantly heals the caster for 1324 to 1562.- Starshards (Level 10). (Night Elf only.)
Rank 7 - Rains starshards down on the enemy target’s head, causing 798 Arcane damage over 6 seconds.- Touch of Weakness (Level 10). (Undead only.)
Rank 6 - The caster’s next damaging melee attack will cause 64 additional Shadow damage and reduce the damage caused by that target by -20 for 2 minutes.- Hex of Weakness (Level 10). (Troll only.)
Rank 6 - Weakens the target enemy, reducing damage caused by -20 for 2 minutes.- Fear Ward (Level 20). (Dwarf only.)
One rank only - Wards the friendly target against fear. The next fear effect used against the target will fail, using up the ward. Lasts 10 minutes.- Feedback (Level 20). (Human only.)
Rank 5 - Enchants the Priest’s weapon to cause feedback on enemy targets. Each hit has a chance of draining 105 mana from the target. For each mana drained in this way, the target takes 1 damage.- Elune’s Grace (Level 20). (Night Elf only.)
Rank 5 - Reduces ranged damage taken by -29 for 3 minutes.- Devouring Plague (Level 20). (Undead only.)
Rank 6 - Afflicts the target with a disease that causes 904 Shadow damage over 24 seconds. Damage caused by the Devouring Plague heals the caster.- Shadowguard (Level 20). (Troll only.)
Rank 6 - The caster is surrounded by shadows. When a melee or ranged attacker hits the caster, the attacker will be struck for 116 Shadow damage. Attackers can only be damaged once every few seconds. 3 charges. Lasts 10 minutes.
That’s cool. I wonder if they were gonna do more of those, but just didn’t get around to it?

Actually I remember one of the community managers discussing that the developers would expand this implementation before release, oh well, maybe it will happen come round expansion, flavor is good!
That’d be cool. And there’s always gotta be more patches, right?
