Zealot`s Embrace

Transmutation cantrip

---

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (symbol of your diety, deity's favored weapon)
• Duration: 1 minute

The blade you are holding is imbued with god's power as the glimmering runic inscriptions appear on it. For the duration, you can use your spellcasting ability instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of melee attacks using that weapon. The weapon also becomes magical, if it isn't already. The spell ends if you cast it again or if you let go of the weapon.

Blazing Blade

Evocation cantrip

---

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 5 feet
• Components: V, M (melee weapon)
• Duration: 1 round

As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature within the spell's range, otherwise the spell fails. On a hit, the target suffers the attack's normal effects, and it becomes sheathed in radiant energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly takes reaction before then, it immediately takes radiant damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.

This spell's damage increases when you reach higher levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 radiant damage to the target, and the damage the target takes for taking its reaction increases to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level and 17th level.

Classes: Cleric, Paladin
