Tactical Cantrips

You have learned to make the best use of your cantrips in battle.  Choose up to 3 cantrips that you know. You can use this feature a number of times per day equal to your spell casting ability modifier (minimum of one). You can shape the cantrip of your choice and modify it's effects on the target.  All uses of the spell are recovered after a long rest. The normal damage values apply to the cantrips as written in the spell description. The following cantrips can all be used to effect the outcome of battle in the following ways:

Firebolt: You can expend one use of the feature before casting it. If you hit the target with this spell it begins to burn for 1d8 fire damage (increasing by 1d8 for each tier of the cantrip dice) for 2 rounds at the start of it's turn.  The burning can not be extinguished unless the target is effected with a water or cold spell effect.  The burning effect does not stack with other burning effects from other sources (including multiple uses of the same spell). Immunity to fire damage prevents the effect.

Ray of Frost: If the target of this spell is slowed by a cold spell on a previous round (such as with ray of frost spell), you can expend one use of the feature on a consecutive attack to restrain the target as per the condition, if you successfully hit with it.  The restrain lasts for 2 rounds or until a creature uses an action to break free with a strength athletics check equal to your spell casting DC. Additionally, while the target is restrained in this way all successive cold damage it takes is increased by 1d8.

Sacred Flame: You can expend one use of this feature and than attack with the cantrip. If you succeed to damage a target with the spell the target gains vulnerability to radiant damage for 2 rounds.  If the target is undead the damage die is increased by an additional 1d8 damage for the duration of the effect.  If the creature is resistant to radiant damage, they lose their resistance for the duration of the effect.  If the target is immune to radiant damage the effect does nothing instead.

Poison Spray: If the target is effected by the poisoned condition (regardless of the type of poison) you can expend one use of the feature to cause this spell to do more damage.  If you succeed to damage the target with the spell, the creature takes an additional 1d8 poison damage (increasing by 1d8 per tier of the spell) at the start of its turn for 2 rounds or until cured.  Creatures immune to poison are unaffected by this effect.

Acid Splash: Expend one use of the feature and make the normal attack roll with the cantrip. If you succeed to hit one or more targets with the spell you can cause the damage to decrease the targets AC by 1+ the spell's tier level if the target is wearing armor.  The acid also causes the target to feel additional pain, causing 1d4 acid damage (increasing by spell tier) for 2 rounds after the initial effect.  The additional acid damage can only be stopped if the target receives magical healing.

Chill Touch: You can expend one use of the feature prior to making an attack. If you succeed to hit the target with this spell, the chilling influence makes the target vulnerable to necrotic damage for 2 rounds.  Additionally, creatures without the subtype undead or construct take 1d4 necrotic damage per spell tier for 2 rounds at the start of it's turn or until magically healed.
