Oath of the Flame

Cradle the Light. Seek out and destroy strong forces of evil that threaten to overthrow the freedoms and joys of life.

Initiative. Followers of the Flame must be proactive and take charge of situations as the principle means of protecting the light.

Respect the Fire. Control over fire represents control over order and chaos. If unchecked, the flames can spread and destroy. When understood and tamed, it can create civilizations. Extinguish flames where they rage uncontrolled or burn too brightly. Bring fire to places of primitive cultures and teach them to harness it; light the darkness and bring warmth.

Rebirth. Cities may fall, fields may burn, dynasties may die always from the ashes something new arises. On encountering destruction or death, plant the seeds for regrowth (be it for good or evil). On great personal failure – or physical or emotional wounds – take ownership, change, and arise like a phoenix.

Channel the Flame

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two options.

Blade of Flame. As an action, you can imbue one weapon that you are holding with fire, using your connection to the flame. For 1 minute, you add your Wisdom modifier to attack rolls made with that weapon (with a minimum bonus of +1). The weapon also emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond that. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action.

Turn the Lightless. As an action, you slam your weapon into the ground causing non-harmful flames to erupt and create a zone within 60ft of you. Any creature in a state of Despair, Anger, Depression, Grievance, or emotions based on the DM's discretion. Will be placed under your control for 3 turns. (1 minute outside of combat)

Additionally, if the creature is any of the following, they are turned, but only for 2 turns. (30 seconds outside of combat) A user of Necromancy, Vampires, Fiends, and any that might be seen as unholy.

As these creatures you may Dash, Attack, Disengage, Brace, and Move up to their maximum movement speed.
