Radiance

Rank 0

• Searing Light: Std, ranged; subject suffers medium radiant damage plus dazzled (disadvantage to Perception and ranged attacks for 1 rd, Con negates). Undead and outsiders profane to your faith suffer heavy damage instead.

Rank 1

• Holy Light: Std, ranged, 1 Mana; subject is healed for heavy damage.
  • Alternate: swift, ranged, 1 Mana; subject is healed for medium damage.
• Divine Shield: Immediate, 1+ Mana; you are invulnerable. If you take a hostile action (debilitate or damage any other creature), you lose this protection. This spell does not end ongoing harmful effects, but prevents any harm they inflict while it is active. Each round after the 1st, you must expend 1 Mana to sustain the spell, if you wish to.
• Shield of Faith: Swift, ranged, 1 Mana; creature gains a shield that Absorbs 100% of all damage, to a limit equal to a heavy damage roll.

Divinity

Rank 0

Rank 1

• Repentance: std, ranged, 1 Mana, concentration; enemy takes no action but to consider their misdeeds (Wis ends). If they are particularly burdened by sin, they suffer disadvantage. Hostile action against the target ends the effect immediately.
• Aura of Courage: resist any compulsions/emotions made by profane creatures.
• Sanctuary: std, centered circle 2, 1 Mana, concentration; you create hallowed ground that enemies cannot easily violate. Allies gain advantage to any saves against compulsions or hostile emotion effects; any such effect that didn't allow a save now allows a Cha save to negate each round. Enemies who are extraplanar must pass a Cha save to enter the area, and if they start within it, must pass a Cha save on turn start or be compelled to exit before taking any other action. Any ranged magical attack suffers disadvantage to hit allies within the area.

Void
