Circle of the Heirophant

Choose and shout the type of creature you abjure (celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead) through the authority of Illmater while releasing holy water from the Aspergillum of the Hierophant outward in a circle onto a surface. This action creates a cylinder (15'r/30'h) of magical energy centered inside the boundary of your released holy water. Bleeding runes appear wherever the cylinder intersects with the floor or other surfaces and the abjured creature type cannot willingly enter the cylinder by nonmagical means. The creature must first succeed on a Charisma saving throw before attempting to use teleportation or interplanar travel to enter.

• The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets within the cylinder.
• Targets within the cylinder can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by the creature.
• When you cast this spell, you can elect to cause its magic to operate in the reverse direction, preventing a creature of the specified type from leaving the cylinder and protecting targets outside it.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration increases by 1 hour for each slot level above 3rd.
