The range difficulty system has been streamlined. As a result, lower-level Paladins will now hit their targets more reliably from a distance. This change does not affect characters with higher distance levels.
The update changed the game so that spells are unlocked automatically upon leveling up and no longer require any cost:

For existing characters, all spells up to the current character level are unlocked automatically without being added to the Action Bar.
Each newly unlocked spell is announced via a banner message.
These changes apply to all characters, regardless of Free or Premium status.
Not affected are starting spells, spells from the Wheel of Destiny, and spells learned via quests, shrines, or specific NPC interactions.
