Prerequisite: Trickery Domain Cleric
 

You learn the Celestial language for the purposes of communicating with divine beings.

You gain Proficiency in any two:  Thieve’s Tools , Poisoner’s kits, Disguise kits, Forgery kits.

Your deity grants you the ability to unerringly mimic the speech patterns and accent of a creature that you hear speak for at least 1 minute, enabling you to pass yourself off as a native speaker of a particular land, provided that you know the language.

Your deity aides your allies in combat, as a bonus action you can use the Help action to aid an ally in attacking a creature, the target of that attack can be within 30 feet of you, rather than within 5 feet of you if the target can see or hear you.

In addition, if you can procure certain texts/tomes/documents you can perform a special ritual to communicate with your deity, during-which you are incapacitated in a comatose state for 24-48 hours.  This ritual may require coordination with a local temple, cloister or other arrangement be made considering the length of the spell and the need to monitor your body, sustain food and water etc. Without an arrangement you suffer varying levels of exhaustion and/or other penalties decided by your DM.

When you wake:  One or several different effects may occur decided by your DM.  For example, if the texts/tomes were in a language you didn’t know, you may find you can now read, write and speak the language.  In the case of documents or letters, you may learn secrets about the person who wrote them or the subjects or events discussed within.  If your deity is displeased or otherwise moved to action by the information it learns, you may see the current location of the person or subject of the documents in a vision as you wake.  The nature of what you experience during this ritual and your deity’s reaction, if any, is decided by your DM.
