Holy Words is a passive level 26 Holy priest ability. It reduces the cooldown of Holy Word abilities when other spells are cast.

Notes

  • The spell's former name means "good fortune discovered by accident or luck."
  • The ability is listed in the spellbook as Rank 2 before it is learned, but there is no Rank 1. It is not visible in the spellbook after learning, as it is essentially just a single-spell display for Rank 2 of the three Holy Word spells.
