They could literally slap these effects on every major spell in the game if they wanted, it's not like they didnt already spend the time to create them. A Venthyr Paladin could have blood-red spells. A Night Fae Druid could have all the sparkly stars over their healing effects. Hell, why dont Druids already have unlockable bear, cat, and travel forms based on Night Fae spirit animals?
Spells that replace holy and shadow spells with their opposite for priests. Frostfire versions of all frost and fire mage spells. Frostfire death knights to match Bolvar. Blue light for priests and paladin spells.
Bonus: Lock some glyphs to races instead of classes. Like a Worgen glyph that lets you hide one-handed melee weapons, and a Night Elf glyph that unlocks the ability to wield warglaives regardless of class. A blood elf paladin's consecration could look like the swirly gold of the Sunwell. Possibilities are endless, and I'd certainly like to have another customization to collect.
