Lore
A classic paladin spell, Consecration has seen active use since the beginning of World of Warcraft. The spell literally cleanses the ground of evil and makes it harmful for villains to tread (i.e. your opponents!). The spell effect has stayed the same since its invention and even its transfer to Hearthstone; it simply blesses a large amount of land and harms enemies on it. Any enemy of the light should watch out for the burns and pains caused by a paladin and his holy ground! Consecration is a periodic area of effect damage spell. Used by Protection paladins while tanking, it allows them to continually deal a small amount of damage to all nearby enemies, helping them to hold aggro and further enhancing these paladins' enviable damage output on multiple targets.
Trivia
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Blood of Gladiators" series, for the card Reckoning of the Light.
