WoW Paladin Spell

Spell Mechanics:
The spell system of the Paladin works in a very alike fashion to that of the mage. Instead of allocating skill points to spell at each level, the Paladin purchase his spells from Paladin Trainers. This ensures that a player is not penalize for casting a wide range of spells over specializing in a assured type.
Indeed, it would be really foolish to do the latter. Each school of magic for the Paladin is intended for one special purpose.
Spell Types
The Paladin has quite a few schools of magic, with effects far ranged and varied. However, their spells basically boil down to the follow types:
Sorcery Spells:
Take time to cast, but have no cool down. They can be use as much as casting time allows. However, if the caster is struck while cast the spell, the casting time increases and the spell may be disrupt altogether. Thus casting sorceries while under attack is questionable. Fortunately, no Paladin spell costs further than 2.5s to cast are thus all at least feasible in melee combat. Eg. Holy Light
Instant Spells:
No casting time, but contain a cool down timer. They are great in mid combat as there's no possibility they will be disrupted. In addition, you can cast them immediately after sorcery, or even between two attacks! Their disadvantage is that you have to wait a while to use them again. Note that, different instant spells have separate cool down timers, so you can cast two dissimilar instant spells one after the other for brutal damage. Eg: Fist of Justice
Next Attack Spells:
These spells do not have a particular casting time, and are instead cast when the next attack is struck, usually to improve the attack in some fashion. Such spells act like ordinary attacks, and thus cannot be disrupted in melee combat. However, unlike instants, they can't be use between attacks. Often, Next Attack spells will also feature a cool down timer, to prevent them being used on every attack. The effects these spell because are in addition to the damage that the weapon does, and if a player misses, next the Spell is wasted. Eg: Holy Strike
Being a melee fighter, Paladin spells are very rapid to cast compared to any of the spell casting classes. Most of their spells are also tagged on to the next weapon attack, or instant. In fact, the sharp-eyed read will notice that Paladin Healing spells are more mana efficient than that of the Priest, and have a quicker casting time too! Luckily, this is compensated by the fact that a Paladin will typically have far less mana than that of the Priest.
Holy Magic

The Paladin's arsenal of Holy Spells are all defensive in nature, commerce with preserving the life of oneself or a fellow party part. Unlike those spells of the Priest, the Paladin's healing spells have a great deal shorter casting times to reflect the fact that he'll require to be in combat a lot more often. Thus, the Paladin is able to act as a valuable healer, particularly in the thick of battle
