You draw back an unseen bowstring of divine force and loose a perfectly silent arrow of celestial judgment. This spell can only target a creature that is stunned. If the target is not stunned when you cast this spell, the spell fails and the spell slot is wasted. Make a ranged spell attack against the stunned creature. On a hit, the arrow pierces the target without sound, then detonates in a moment of overwhelming divine radiance. The target takes 40d20 + 20 radiant damage.
On impact, a flash of holy light erupts from the target, illuminating the world for a single impossible heartbeat. Each creature within 1 mile of the target that can see the flash is blinded until the end of its next turn. During this moment, a soft, melodic hum fills the air, felt more in the soul than heard by the ears.
The color of the arrow, the shape of the radiance, and the divine sigils that appear in the air are determined by the caster’s closest aligned deity, oath, patron, or sacred ideal. A servant of a sun god may fire a golden arrow wreathed in solar script, while a follower of a moon goddess may unleash silver-white light marked by crescent runes. A caster without a deity manifests symbols tied to their deepest conviction.
This spell leaves no thunder, no smoke, and no echo—only silence, light, and the terrible certainty that heaven has taken aim.
