At the time of writing, there are 12 Priest Runes revealed that players can find hidden in the world. We can already foresee some very powerful shadow-based builds in Season of Discovery, with high damage in the first raid at level 25!

Check out the table below featuring all the Priest Runes, their effects/powers, and the item slot on which you can use them.

Priest Rune Name	Item Slot Rune Engraving	Priest Rune Effect/Power
Serendipity	Chest	Healing with Flash Heal reduces the cast time of your next Lesser Heal, Heal, Greater Heal, or Prayer of Healing by 20% for 20 sec, stacking up to 3 times.
Void Plague	Chest	Afflicts the target with a disease that causes (* 39 / 100 * 6) Shadow damage over 18 sec.
Strength of Soul	Chest	Lesser Heal, Heal, Greater Heal, and Flash Heal reduce the remaining duration of Weakened Soul on targets they heal by 4 sec. In addition, targets of your Power Word: Shield will gain Rage from taking damage despite the damage being absorbed, and Righteous Fury will trigger from damage absorbed by your Power Word: Shield as if it were a heal.
Twisted Faith	Chest	Mind Flay and Mind Blast deal 20% increased damage to targets afflicted with your Shadow Word: Pain.
Mind Sear	Gloves	Causes an explosion of shadow magic around the enemy target, causing (70 / 100 ) to (78 / 100 ) Shadow damage every 1 sec for 5 sec to all enemies within 10 yards around the target.
Penance	Gloves	Launches a volley of holy light at the target, causing (* 128 / 100) Holy damage to an enemy, or (* 106 / 100) healing to an ally, instantly and every 1 sec for 2 sec.
Circle of Healing	Gloves	Heals all of target player's party members within 40 yards of target player for (* 162 / 100) to (* 180 / 100).
Shadow Word: Death	Gloves	A word of dark binding that inflicts (* 261 / 100) to (* 305 / 100) Shadow damage to the target. If the target is not killed by Shadow Word: Death, the caster takes damage equal to the damage inflicted upon the target.
Prayer of Mending	Legs	Places a spell on the target that heals them for (* 93 / 100) the next time they take damage or receive healing. When the heal occurs, Prayer of Mending jumps to a party or raid member within 20 yards. Jumps up to 5 times and lasts 30 sec after each jump. This spell can only be placed on one target at a time.
Homunculi	Legs	Break off splinters of your soul to animate 3 miniature copies of yourself that attempt to attack your current target with a mace, sword, and axe, reducing the attack speed, attack power, and armor respectively of any target they hit.
Power Word: Barrier	Legs	Summons a holy barrier to protect all party members at the target location for 10 sec, reducing all damage taken by 25% and preventing damage from delaying spellcasting.
