Priest racial abilities

Prior to patch 3.0.2, Priests received two additional spells according to their race. These priest racial abilities were unique depending on which race the player had chosen for his or her priest. The first spell was received at level 10 and the second spell was received at level 20. These spells gained ranks just like other priest spells and were quite useful depending on the circumstances a player found himself or herself in.

For more information on which quests could be completed to obtain these spells, see Priest Quests entry.
