    Priest Racial Abilities: Each race of Priest has two spells unique to their Race. They have been fully re-evaluated, and new ones have been added for Gnome Priests:

    The files Each priest race has exactly two race-locked spells in 70245: Human Feedback and Divine Grace, Dwarf Desperate Prayer and Chastise, Night Elf Starshards and Elune's Grace, Troll Hex of Weakness and Shadowguard, Undead Touch of Weakness and Dark Sacrifice, Gnome Confounding Flash and Contingency Plan (skill line race masks). Classic Era had no Gnome priest spells.

    Contingency Plan: Learned at level 20. Places a ward on a friendly target for 30 seconds. If that target’s health drops below 35%, the target is instantly protected by a damage absorb shield and gains a heal-over-time effect. These two effects can be stacked with Renew and Power Word: Shield. 5-minute cooldown. Instant cast.

    The files Level 20, the 30 sec ward, the 35% health trigger, the absorb plus a 15 sec heal over time, and the instant cast all match the tooltip (1277462). The cooldown is 10 min, not 5 (600000 ms on every rank), and stacking with Renew and Power Word: Shield isn't in any field we can read.
