"It is not yet your time, I shall aid your journey back to the realm of the living." [1]

The Spirit Healer of the graveyard in Brill in the Tirisfal Glades.

Spirit Healer TCG

In the WoW TCG.

A Spirit Healer is an angelic being. Spirit Healers wait within the astral realm / spirit world for those unfortunate adventurers whose spirits will soon join them. These floating figures of death and rebirth return people to life where their spirit stands.[2] They are usually encountered at a graveyard after death. Although it can't be seen while dead, a Spirit Healer has blue skin and white wrappings. Its wings are a paler blue.

Notes

Spirit Healers are able to resurrect players at the cost of 25% durability loss to all items (both equipped and in inventory) at the graveyard where they are found. In addition, if you are resurrected by a Spirit Healer, you will suffer from Spell shadow deathscream [Resurrection Sickness]. As of patch 2.4, players that have the resurrection sickness debuff are worth no honor. This debuff decreases all of your attributes and damage dealt by 75%, and has a duration that varies depending on your level:

  • Characters level 10 and under will NOT gain resurrection sickness.
  • Characters level 11-19 will gain one minute of resurrection sickness for each level above 10 (i.e. a level 12 character will get 2 minutes and a level 15 character will get 5 minutes).
  • Characters level 20 and up will gain 10 minutes of resurrection sickness.

If you run to a Spirit Healer at another graveyard and ask her to bring you back to life she will do so, but the resurrection sends you back to the graveyard at which you originally spawned as a ghost. However, until some time in 2010, logging out and back in would remove this restriction. Thus, it was possible for a character to die in one zone, reach a spirit healer far away, relog, and resurrect safely at the nearby spirit healer. The minimap arrow (File:GuideMinimapArrow up 16x16.png) for the nearest Spirit Healer would also disappear.

Normal Spirit healers do not appear in the Death Knight Starting Zone. They are replaced by Val'kyr Battle-maidens.

In battlegrounds, Wintergrasp, Tol Barad and Tol Barad Peninsula, each spirit healer is specific to the Alliance or Horde, and automatically resurrects everyone nearby periodically. Players resurrected this way spawn at their ghost's location with full health and mana and any pet they may have died with, and they don't take further durability damage.

The Spirit Healer's imagery is an adaptation of the archangels from Blizzard's Diablo series; in both cases, the "wings" of the beings are in fact tendrils of energy arranged in a wing-shaped configuration.
