You willingly sever the divine bond between yourself and your Sacred Oath, sacrificing the power and protection it granted you in exchange for a surge of forbidden strength.
As you cast this spell, your holy symbol cracks and is destroyed. The presence of your oath vanishes from within you, and you immediately become an Oathbreaker Paladin.
For the duration, your Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores each increase by 2, to a maximum of 22.
Additionally, you gain the following benefits for the duration:
- You have advantage on attack rolls.
- You have advantage on saving throws.
- Your movement speed increases by 20 feet.
- Your melee weapon attacks deal an additional 1d8 necrotic damage.
- You gain temporary hit points equal to twice your Paladin level.
- You cannot be frightened or charmed.
When the spell ends, all ability score increases and temporary benefits granted by the spell disappear. Any remaining temporary hit points are also lost.
The severance of your oath, however, does not end.
Your former Sacred Oath cannot be restored through remove curse, greater restoration, or similar magic. Reclaiming your oath requires extraordinary circumstances, such as divine intervention, a monumental act of redemption, or a quest determined by the DM.
Special
Divine Severance can only be cast upon yourself. Once you cast it, you cannot cast it again unless you somehow reclaim a Sacred Oath and later choose to sever it once more.
The spell’s temporary power is not the true purpose of the magic. It is the power that remains when the restraints of your oath are stripped away
