::''Lightning Javelin is an Amazon skill that adds a bit of lightning damage to your regular jabbing javelin attack. It is thought to be a lower level skill, probably one that is required to enable higher level lightning or other hand-to-hand javelin skills. You can see it in action here.
The names of the Amazon spear skills changed a lot right up until the release, so likely Power Strike was once called Lightning Javelin. Or possibly we just had the wrong skill name here, from whatever preview or interview we got it. The screenie is interesting.

::''Sanctuary, a Paladin skill, creates a barrier against the undead, as its description in the game reads. You can see this spell demonstrated in the Paladin.avi, and also in an older screenshot. It was thought from this shot that it worked like a sort of Holy Nova, but as we saw in the gameplay movie, the holy clouds expand to a set distance and remain there. The spell wasn't especially effective in the movie, as several zombies walked through it, on their 2nd or 3rd try.
