Hand (spell)

Paladin Hand spells were short-term paladin spells that gave their target a powerful effect before fading shortly after.
==History==
Hand spells were implemented in patch 3.0.2. They were made up of many of the former Blessing spells. Many of the Hand spells were Blessings that acted as a short-term utility rather than standard raid buff, including the former Blessing of Freedom, Blessing of Protection, and Blessing of Sacrifice spells. In addition, Blessing of Salvation was converted into a hand spell from a long term Blessing. These spells were from then on known as Hand of Freedom, Hand of Protection, Hand of Sacrifice, and Hand of Salvation.
==Available hands==
There are numerous hands available to Paladins. The available hands are as follows:
Ability	Reqs 	Duration	Cooldown	Description
Hand of Protection	Level 48 	10 sec 	5 min 	Places a Hand on a party or raid member, protecting them from all physical attacks for 10 sec, but during that time they cannot attack or use physical abilities. Cannot be used on a target with Forbearance. Causes Forbearance for 1 min.
Hand of Freedom	Level 52 	6 sec 	25 sec 	Places a Hand on the friendly target, granting immunity to movement impairing effects for 6 sec.
Hand of Salvation	Level 66 	10 sec 	2 min 	Places a Hand on the party or raid member, reducing their total threat by 2% every 1 sec for 10 sec.
Hand of Sacrifice	Level 80 	12 sec 	2 min 	Places a Hand on a party or raid member, transferring 30% damage taken to the Paladin. Lasts 12 sec or until the Paladin has transferred 100% of their maximum health.
Hand of Purity	Level 60 talent	6 sec 	30 sec 	Places a Hand on the friendly target, reducing the damage of harmful periodic effects by 70% for 6 sec.
==Improving hands with talents==
All Hands (except Hand of Purity) could be improved with Clemency. Clemency gave each of these Hand spells two "charges", that could be used in quick succession. However these "charges" were not on independent or parallel cooldowns, but cooldown sequentially.
