I'm not sure I'm understanding Divine Word's save results. RAW suggest that if a target saves, nothing happens. If a target does NOT save, the Divine Word Effects chart is in play AND if they are a Celestial, Elemental, Fey, or Fiend they are banished back to their plane with the chart effect?
It would seem that the Divine Word Effects are really only for foes NOT belonging to one of the above monster types. Why not just say that? And why not just say, "if save vs CHA, no effect?"
On a successful save, Divine Word has no effect to the target.
On a failed save, a target that has 50 Hit Points or fewer suffers an effect based on its current Hit Points, as shown in the Divine Word Effects table. If the target is a Celestial, an Elemental, a Fey, or a Fiend, it's forced back to its plane of origin as well.

Or am I reading this incorrectly?
