Base Class: Druid
The balance of Light and Darkness is vital yet very fragile, and Druids now this better than most. Preserving the balance is paramount to protecting the flora and fauna of the world. Yet many of those born of civilization have become lax and forgotten this truth, and many still embrace the corruption and give themselves to darkness. This perversion of the dark throws the balance into madness.
That is where the Circle of Light comes in. These Druids respond to the pollution of evil darkness by becoming it's antithesis, embodying the power of light while maintaining their ties to the harmony of nature. Glaring upon their enemies, they pull their foes out of the dark or purify them with the blinding power of illumination.
Sight of Light
At 2nd level, the power of light enhances your vision. You learn the light cantrip.
Circle Spells
Your symbiotic link to light grants you access to certain spells. At 2nd level, you learn the sacred flame cantrip. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Circle of Light Spells table.
Once you gain access to one of these spells, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn’t appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.
