Mind Spike is a priest ability learned at level 44 for those with the Shadow specialization. It deals Shadowfrost damage, yet also clears any existing Shadow damage over time effects on the target. It provides a quick nuke to use in situations where time is of the essence, such as when the priest has to swap targets frequently.

It also provides the priest with a shadow spell even if that school is currently locked; school lockouts no longer affect multi-school spells.
