Oath of The Arcane Hunter

The Oath of The Arcane Hunter calls for the paladins to protect the common folk from the dangers of magic and magic users, they seek to hold control of magic so that it may only be used for good. These paladins go by many names such as Mage Hunters, Templars, Mage's Bane, Vernadi knights... While most of the practitioners of this oath seek to simply protect common folk from the dangers of magic, others believe magic to be inherently bad and seek to destroy or control it.

TENETS OF The Arcane Hunter

While paladins who take this oath aren't the most unified, most of them share these tenants:

Vigilance. Always stay vigilant to the misuse of magic.

Protection. Always protect the common folk from the dangers of magic.

Control. Seek to control magic so that it may never be misused.

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two channel divinity options:

Arcane Shift. Whenever a creature that you can see casts a spell of 1st level or higher, using your channel divinity you can use your reaction to instantly teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. You can teleport before or after the spell is cast.

Arcane Mark. Using your channel divinity you place an arcane mark on a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you, using your action you force a creature targeted to make a wisdom saving throw, on a failed save you disrupt their spellcasting causing them to take 1d4 psychic damage per the level of a spell whenever they cast a spell of 1st level or higher. The mark lasts for a minute and ends if you can't see the creature at the end of your turn.
