Requirements
- Learned Penance; the source records its first rank at level 30. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
- An actual point in the Penance talent (Discipline) and its prerequisites; selecting a recommended spec alone does not grant it.
Known limitations
- Research-supported design for beta 1.60.1.70009; no recorded in-client macro tests. English spell names require localization on other clients.
- The first matching target branch wins; an out-of-range, line-of-sight, immune or otherwise invalid recipient does not fall through to another target.
- While a player channel is active, guarded casts do nothing. To change channel or target immediately, stop the channel manually; this is not a proc, resource or rotation decision.
- The source says Shadowform prevents healing spells. Leave it manually before healing; this key does not cancel your form.
- No implicit self cast is inserted. A friendly mouseover takes priority over an enemy target and vice versa.
- The source does not establish self-targeted Penance. Use another eligible friendly recipient until that behavior is tested.
Notes
- Spell IDs identify the sourced first-rank reference; unranked names request the learned rank selected by the client. A spellbook tab is not a specialization lock.
- Talent and level records are provisional beta extraction, not proof of spell acquisition.
