The "seal of rightiousness" icon comes from warcraft 3, where the Mountain King hero unit had and ability called "Stormbolt" with that exact icon. The ability itself worked basically as paladin stun we have today with some good damage. That unit also had "Thunderclap" that got into wow as a warrior ability unchanged, a passive "Bash" that gave him a random proc to do more damage and stun on autoattacks, and an ultimate "Avatar" that game him a ton of hp, some armor, spell immunity and a good bit of extra dps for a short period

Probably, but consider that they were already working on the Seal system, so a Paladin could Judge with Seal of Wisdom to get mana back while attacking.

Also, while going oom on raids is bad, it beats doing nothing but autoattack most of the time then casting two damage abilities, then go back to autoattacking.

It's actually not at odd at all that an icon would be shared by many different abilities and have a name of an ability that doesn't exist anymore. As a programmer, you need to keep en eye on memory usage and code maintainability. So you'd reuse the same icon at every opportunity to save space. Once you've named that asset , and used it in your code, you don't want to go around changing things because you'd have to change it everywhere it appears and things can get convoluted. So it'd keep the first (or nearly) name you ever gave it, even if that ability doesn't exist anymore.

8: The icon is taken from warcraft 3, the origin of a lot of old icon names could indeed be tracked back to wc3, and this is one of many examples, the Human race hero Dwarven mountain king had Stormbolt, which the icon and effect/missile was named thunderbolt. 7: Mind Rot still exists in wc3 but its unused for any unit or hero. it has the same effect as you said, but as its unused it wasn't clear which unit was it intended for. Mana burn: its weird to me how do priests have mana burn because originally in warcraft 3 the night elf hero demon hunter or illidan has this ability, alongside the Fel Stalkers. 5: the icon of holy ward is used for undead unit Banshe in wc3 and its called Anti Magic Shell, originally it used to block a certain number of spell and magic damage to a target but another version that the units have to date is to just make them completely immune to spell and magic. 4: Side note, i'm almost 100% sure the stormbolt icon is just placeholder, but that aside, Paladins and Death Knights in warcraft 3 indeed to cancel eachother. with the most obvious example being Holy Light: which can heal non undead allies and damage undead for half the amount that's healed, and Death Coil: which can heal only undead, but deal half the damage to any non undead living units. 3: Sleep belongs to the Undead race hero the Dreadlord which does the same thing, except it makes the target invulnerable for 3 seconds and after that the effect can be interrupted if someone attacks the unit. (including friendlies which is how people counter the ability) 2: Yes Ethereal form is a shaman ability, the Tauren spirit walkers in warcraft 3 have this ability. and to add to it, any unit that gains ethereal status in wc3 takes increased damage from spells and magic attack type. and receives more healing. 1: about Lightning Storm: icon is called Call Storm, and originally in the beta of warcraft 3 the orc units apparently had what's known now the orc Warlocks that you only see in the campaigns. and instead of the Witch doctor/Shaman/Spirit walker, one of those units was the Warlock (or atleast it used the model of what's now known as warlock) which had this Call Storm ability and there are picture from it that can be seen in beta wc3 cover art.

I think the mountain king (heroic class muradin is based on wc3) has an ability that throws his hammer and stun a little bit the enemies, son that thunderbolts sounds a lot like that.
