Penance at tier 5 is the new prerequisite for Power Infusion. At the top, Power in Light adds Smite and Penance damage against targets with your Holy Fire or Shadow Word: Pain, and Twin Disciplines boosts instant spells. Unbreakable Will is merged into Silent Resolve, Divine Spirit and Improved Power Word: Fortitude are baseline now, and Force of Will is no longer a talent.
