Spell school Interrupt works for two schools?

So one time I was casting this Flash Heal, and the Death Knight was all over his Mind Freeze button: okay, I'm locked from Holy school for a bit.

I went to hit my Power Word Shield button.

"Ability is not ready yet"

But, but Power Word Shield is a Disc spell, and my Penance spell was also on lockout. I checked my shadow spells, and they were usable as always.

So tell me, why place spells in different schools when a schoollockout spell can affect all of them.

Re: Spell school Interrupt works for two scho

While it can be confusing, Power Word: Shield is a spell from the holy school of magic. Spell schools refer to their types of damage or healing, not the talent or spell tab that they fall under.

Spell schools refer to Arcane, Fire, Frost, Nature, Shadow, and Holy.
