Mind Sear is a priest ability learned at level 76. It is an AoE base ability that can be cast upon an enemy or friendly target; it will damage all enemies within range, including the targeted enemy (not the friendly target, however).
A bad point about this spell is that when the mob it is being cast on dies, the spell stops channeling, meaning the Priest will have to find another mob to cast it on.
This cannot be self-cast on the priest, nor on non-combat pets.
