Way of the Radiant Sun Soul

Monks of the Way of the Radiant Soul learn to channel their life energy into searing bolts of light. They teach that meditation can unlock the ability to unleash the indomitable light shed by the soul of every living creature.

Radiant Soul Aura

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can project your ki into an aura of radiant fire.

As an action, you can spend 1 ki point to become wreathed in an aura of luminous, magical fire.

When you do, you can take a bonus action to make one unarmed strike or you can spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes instead.

While wreathed in this aura, you gain the following benefits:

Blinding Flare

At 6th level, you can let your radiant soul flare up into a blinding light.

As an action, you can spend 1 ki point to force every creature within 20 feet of you to succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of its next turn.

A creature can use its reaction to shield its eyes and gain advantage on the saving throw.

If you are wreathed in your radiant soul aura, you don't have to spend ki when using this feature.

Soaring Light

At 11th level, your aura can propel you into the air.

While wreathed in your radiant soul aura, you gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed.

Radiant Sunburst

At 17th level, you gain the ability to create an orb of light that erupts into a devastating explosion.

As an action, you magically create an orb and hurl it at a point you choose within 150 feet, where it erupts into a sphere of radiant light for a brief but deadly instant.

Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Constitution saving throw. A target takes 3d6 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

A creature doesn't need to make the save if it is behind total cover that is opaque.

You can increase the sphere's damage by spending ki points. Each point you spend, to a maximum of 10, increases the damage by 2d6.
