Inquisition is a paladin spell learned at level 81 for 24. It is one of the few spells using Holy Power.

Notes

It is similar to [Avenging Wrath] by the fact that both spells increase the paladin's damage for a few seconds. However, there are important differences between them which heavily differs their usage.
- Inquisition only increases damage. Avenging Wrath increases both damage and healing.
- Inquisition only increases holy damage. Avenging Wrath increases all damage caused.
- Inquisition has, in contrast to Avenging Wrath, no cooldown. This is possibly the largest difference between them, allowing Inquisition to be active at all times. This makes it similar to a rogue's [Slice and Dice] or a druid's [Savage Roar], being intended to generate a constant buff which increases the paladin's damage. To Retribution-paladins, Avenging Wrath may be considered a long-cooldown extension of this, similar to the mage's [Arcane Power]. To Holy-paladins the difference is even greater as Inquisition does nothing for their healing. To Protection-paladins, the difference between Inquisition and Avenging Wrath depends on the situation.

[Holy Shield] causes your [Shield of the Righteous] or Inquisition to increase your block chance by 15% for 20 sec.

[Inquiry of Faith] increases the periodic damage done by your [Seal of Truth] by 10/20/30%, and the duration of your [[

Inquisition]] by 50/100/150%.

[Divine Purpose] The following attacks have a 7/15% chance to cause your next Holy Power ability to consume no Holy Power and to cast as if 3 Holy Power were consumed:

[Reinforced Sapphirium Battleplate] - 4/5 Your Inquisition ability's duration is calculated as if you had one additional Holy Power.

The level 81-spell for Paladins was originally planned to be Blinding Shield, but was replaced with Inquisition before patch 4.0.1 went live.
