Base Class: Druid
Druids of the Circle of the Sun draw their power from the blazing heart of the sky—the life-giving, world-shaping furnace of the Sun. To them, fire is not merely a force of destruction, but a sacred instrument of renewal. Just as wildfires clear dead underbrush and awaken dormant seeds, so too do these druids believe in burning away stagnation to make room for vibrant new life. They walk the line between radiant mercy and scorching judgment, wielding flame as both nurturer and purifier.

Level 10: Sunlit Step
As a Bonus Action, you can teleport between open flames, up to 60 feet away that you can see. The starting and ending points of this teleportation must be mundane or open flames, that are at least Small size, so a campfire is big enough, but a lit candle is not. If you are currently in one of your Circle of the Sun forms, this counts as a valid source. Additionally, if you use this ability immediately after casting a spell that deals Fire damage, you can teleport to a space within 5 feet of the affected location or target.
After teleporting you have Advantage on the next melee attack you make before the end of the current turn.
