The reason for this error message is that Thorns benefits from the druid's spell power at the time it was cast, not at the time of the hit. Thus, casting Thorns on yourself while at a higher spell damage (such as with a trinket activated) will make it impossible to refresh the buff without first right-clicking it off if your spell power has dropped down. Some buffs and items may temporarily increase spell power, causing this to occur. If using similar items or abilities with short [[cooldown]]s, it would be best to max out spell power before casting Thorns to get the maximum effect out of it. |

- We can learn much from the elder vine, which threatens with barbs the hand that would trim it back.[1]
Thorns is a druid buff spell that can be cast on yourself and friendly players. Any time a target affected by Thorns is hit in melee, the attacker takes nature damage.
Notes
- The damage dealt by Thorns is increased by the casting druid's spell power at the time of casting. Each tick receives about 3.3%.
- The Druid Tier 1 armor set, Cenarion Raiment, boosts the effectiveness of Thorns. The three piece bonus increases the damage caused by 4 and the duration by 50%.

[Glyph of Thorns] is a major glyph that reduces the cooldown of thorns by 20 seconds. If managed properly, the downtime of thorns would be only ~5 seconds. Thus this is an excellent option for a major glyph slot if there is constant incoming melee damage.

Refreshing and Spell Power
When refreshing Thorns on yourself, you may sometimes get the error message, 'A more powerful spell is already active.' This is understandable if the initial buff was cast by a different druid with a higher rank of the spell or talents to increase its potency, but may be confusing when it was you who cast the spell. The reason for this error message is that Thorns benefits from the druid's spell power at the time it was cast, not at the time of the hit. Thus, casting Thorns on yourself while at a higher spell damage (such as with a trinket activated) will make it impossible to refresh the buff without first right-clicking it off if your spell power has dropped down. Some buffs and items may temporarily increase spell power, causing this to occur. If using similar items or abilities with short cooldowns, it would be best to max out spell power before casting Thorns to get the maximum effect out of it.
Patch changes
- Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Beginner tooltip revised to no longer imply the spell could be kept up at all times. In addition, Thorns damage has been reduced by 60%.
- Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Duration reduced from 10 minutes to 20 seconds. Damage increased significantly.
- Template:Patched
- Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): This spell will now properly use the druid's spell power to determine its scaling instead of the target's spell power.
