Circle of the Sun Features

Circle Spells

At 2nd level, you learn the light and ignite fire cantrips. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Circle of the Sun Spells table. Once you gain access to a circle spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

Unleash Radiance

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain an alternate use for Wild Shape. You absorb sunlight and as a bonus action, you can unleash the stored radiance outward. When you transform with this ability, creatures of your choice within 15 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the start of your next turn. For the next one minute you gain the following effects.

You gain the following properties when you transform:

• You shed bright light in a radius of 20 feet, and dimlight for another 20 feet. The bright light is sunlight.
• You gain resistance to fire and radiant damage.
• Once per turn, when you deal fire or radiant damage on your turn, you can deal an addition 1d4 fire or radiant damage to that enemy.

As an action while you are transformed, you can end the effect early, releasing your stored energy in a beam of light a 60 feet long and 5 wide.

Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. On failure, a creature takes 2d8 radiant damage, or half as much on a success. This damage increases by 1d8 at 5th level (3d8), 11th level (4d8), and 17th level (5d8). You can expend a spell slot when unleashing this power to increase the damage dealt by 1d8 fire damage for each level of spell slot spent (for example, unleashing it at 5th level and using a 3rd level spell slot would deal 3d8 radiant damage and 3d8 fire damage).

If you have not been exposed to sunlight in the last 24 hours, the duration of the transformation is have, and ending it early does not release a beam of energy.

Absorb Radiance

When you end your turn in sunlight, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier. Once you gain these temporary hit points, you cannot gain them again for 1 minute.

Burning Light

Starting at 6th level, the first time on your turn that you roll radiant or fire damage against a creature is in bright light, you can add your Wisdom modifier to that damage roll.

Conflaguration

Additionally at 6th level, you enhance certain fire spells granted by your class:

• Flame Blade. When you make a melee spell attack with flame blade, you can make a second melee spell attack as part of the same action.
• Ignite Fire. When you are concentrating on ignite fire, casting the spell again does not immediately end the previous ignite fire spell, and it instead lasts a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier before fading, unless you intentionally end it (no action required).

Cleansing Fire

Beginnning at 10th level, you can cast remove curse or lesser restoration without expending a spell slot, but when you cast it this way the target takes 1d10 fire damage for each condition or disease removed, or 1d10 radiant damage for each curse removed.

You can do this a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, regaining all uses when you complete a long rest.

Emmissary of the Sun

Starting at 14th level, when you use Unleash Radiance, you can become fire itself, gaining the effect of the form of fire spell. When you do this, you can spend a second use of wildshape to sprout wings of fire, taking on a phoenix like form with a flying speed of 30 feet.
