I've been thinking about the Radiant Soul feature that Celestial Warlocks get at Level 6. The feature states: "... when you cast a spell that deals radiant or fire damage, you add your Charisma modifier to one radiant or fire damage roll of that spell against one of its targets." I've put together a list of cantrips/spells that a Celestial Warlock might have from the Warlock spell list, the added Celestial Warlock spells, Pact of the Tome, Magic Initiate, Spell Sniper, etc. I've not included spells a character might have from multiclassing. I'd like to confirm that the following list is correct ... thanks so much!!!
Add Radiant Soul damage to sole target of cantrip/spell: Chaos Bolt, Chromatic Orb, Fire Bolt, Guiding Bolt, Produce Flame, Sacred Flame
Add Radiant Soul damage to 1 target affected by cantrip/spell: Burning Hands, Flame Strike (pick fire or radiant), Green-Flame Blade, Word of Radiance
Add Radiant Soul damage to 1 target affected by cantrip/spell (but only when first cast): Create Bonfire, Wall of Fire, Wall of Light
Radiant Soul DOES NOT WORK with these spells because no fire/radiant damage is dealt when first cast: Absorb Elements, Crown of Stars, Divine Favor, Elemental Bane, Flaming Sphere, Guardian of Faith, Investiture of Flame, Searing Smite, Sickening Radiance

Looking at the description of Radiant Soul, it doesn't say that the damage boost has to be applied immediately, just that it can be applied to any spell you cast that deals fire or radiant damage. So I'd say that it works with all those spells, it just goes off only once per casting.
What about when it comes to something like “Holy Weapon”? Would Radiant Soul affect that as well or no? Building a Celestial Blade character (COS Bard/Celestial Warlock) and would be curious if that would work

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
