Racial Spells
Priests get two additional spells according to their race, first at level 10 and then at level 20. These spells will also gain ranks just like normal spells and are, for the most part, quite useful. For more information on the quests to obtain these spells, see Priest Quests entry.
In Wrath of the Lich King, these racial spells are being removed from the game or revamped. Desperate Prayer replaces Holy Nova as a Holy talent (the latter spell becoming a basic Priest spell, while Symbol of Hope and Devouring Plague are retooled and made basic Priest spells. All other racial spells will be removed from the game.
