Channel Divinity: Words of Doom
Starting at 2nd level, you can use Channel Divinity to break another creature's ability to resist you.
- As a bonus action you can use Channel Divinity to curse the target. The target takes a -3 penalty on all saving throws against spells and abilities you use. This lasts until the start of your next turn.
Temptation of Evil
Starting at 6th level, when a creature is evil, or you know it's motivations, goals, or flaws (perhaps as expressed through the ideals and flaw established in its background) you gain power over them. You have advantage on all Charisma checks against the creature. The creature suffers disadvantage on saving throws against spells of the enchantment school you cast.
Blessed Strikes
When you reach 8th level, you are blessed with divine might in battle. When a creature takes damage from one of your cantrips or weapon attacks, you can also deal 1d8 radiant damage to that creature. Once you deal this damage, you can't use this feature again until the start of your next turn.

If you know the creature's name, you do not need to see the target or know its location, but if it is not in range the ability fails. If the creature has a neutral or friendly attitude to you this is automatic. If the creature is hostile it can make a Wisdom saving throw to negate the effect, and if the saving throw succeeds, you cannot try to form a Leeching Bond with that creature until you have finished a long rest.
