Holy Light in the TCG.
Holy magic[1] (also called Light magic,[2] holy energy,[3] holy arts,[4] and sometimes referred to as divine power)[5] is the manifestation of the Light in the Great Dark Beyond.[6][7]
Holy magic can be used for healing, for offense, and even for resurrecting the dead.[8][9] It can notably deal damage to the undead and demons.[10] Practitioners of holy magic must abnegate themselves through meditation, in order to become conduits for the Light and use its powers.[11]
Practitioners and races
- The most notable practitioners of Holy magic are called priests and paladins.[12]
- In draenei society, they are mostly part of the Anchorite and Vindicator orders respectively.
- Elune can also grant Holy magic to her followers.[13]
- The naaru are benevolent creatures of living holy energy.[6] When the holy power leaves the naaru, it becomes infused with the Void, turning into a dark naaru.[14] 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.[15]
- The dreadlord Lothraxion is infused with the Holy energy of the Light.
- The loa Rezan also grants Holy magic to his Zandalari prelates followers.[16]

- 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)".[17] This may mean two things:
Notes
- Jaina Proudmoore referred to Khadgar as a practitioner of the divine magic,[11] implying the arcane magic, rather than holy magic.
- The opposite of "holy" is often considered to be "dark" powers such as shadow magic with shadow priests, demonic magic known as fel with warlocks, and necromantic with necromancers.
- This good-evil concept is present both in lore and occasionally game mechanics.
