Shadowform does not lock the [[Schools_of_Magic#Holy|Holy]] school, but only the Holy tree. That is the reason why Holy spells from the Discipline tree, such as [[Power Word: Shield]], can still be cast without removing Shadowform. However, as of [[Patch 2.3]], if you are in Shadowform and try to use an ability that may not be used while in Shadowform, you will leave it and use that ability. This function can be disabled with the command: <tt>/console autoUnshift 0</tt>

The character looks translucent black while in Shadowform. While mounted, the priest's mount also gains this appearance.
