Holy

Holy magic, or energy, also called Light magic, and sometimes referred to as divine power is the manifestation of the Light in the Great Dark Beyond. It can be used for healing, defending or hurting, even restore life to the dead, and is extra efficient against the undead and demons.

Practitioners and races

 * The most notable practitioners of Holy magic are called priests and paladins.
 * In draenei society, they are mostly part of the Anchorite and Vindicator orders respectively.
 * Elune can also grant Holy magic to her followers.
 * The naaru are benevolent creatures of living holy energy. When the holy power leaves the naaru, it becomes infused with the Void, turning into a dark naaru. They can also be further twisted into void gods.
 * The blood elves used to forcibly drain the holy energy from the naaru M'uru.
 * The Sunwell is empowered with both holy and arcane magic.
 * The dreadlord Lothraxion is infused with the Holy energy of the Light.
 * The loa Rezan also grants Holy magic to his Zandalari prelates followers.


 * Tauren Seers and Sunwalkers claim to draw their power from the sun, which they call An'she, the right eye of the Earth Mother according to their mythology. The connection between their power source and the Light is not elaborated on. The Ultimate Visual Guide writes that the tauren revere "An'she (the Light)". This may mean two things:
 * An'she, the Sun, is made of Light, and they draw power from it. This would not be the first time in history as the Arakkoa too drew Holy magic from their sun.
 * Alternatively, the tauren are drawing power from the Light, which they unknowingly call and believe to be An'she.
