Contract Domain

A God of Contracts oversees the processes of Law and Mutual Agreements. To these deities, there is nothing more sacred than an agreement between two individuals. Cheating ones contract is an affront to what they stand for. Deities which hold Contracts in such regard include Styx, Tyr, Ame-no-Koyane, the Devil Lords of the Nine Hells, Sancus, and Waukeen. These deities often interact very little with their followers, preferring to watch from afar and ensure that nothing goes amiss. Followers of these deities will often end up in positions of high importance within businesses, their knowledge over contracts considered a boon in these fields. The magic granted by their connection to the divine allows them to temporarily instate divine orders onto themselves or others, however utilizing this magic to force a contract is strictly forbidden within most churches.

Channel Divinity: Enforcing Contract

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to temporarily enforce contracts that you have not had a hand in making. As an action, you present your holy symbol towards a creature within 30ft of you, stating a law or contract that they have broken along with your evidence within 2 sentences. If a creature has committed the stated crime, then they must succeed on a Charisma Saving Throw as your god enacts divine punishment upon them. Golden Chains fly forth from every direction, restraining the target in place for 5 rounds, additionally they take radiant damage equal to your half your proficiency bonus rounded down. If they have not committed the crime, then nothing happens. Your god oversees this trial, and thus already knows the truth, however this will not be told to you. Regardless of the result of this action, the targeted creature can no longer be effected by the same broken law and evidence.

In order for this ability to function, the target must have broken a law present within their society.
