Subclass Features
Nature's Wrath
You can use your Channel Divinity to invoke primeval forces to ensnare a foe. As an action, you can cause spectral vines to spring up and reach for a creature within 15 ft of you that you can see. The creature must succeed on a STR saving throw or be Restrained for one minute. While Restrained by the vines, the creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success, it frees itself and the vines vanish.
Oath Spells
Your Oath and devotion grant you certain spells. You know the following spells and they do not count towards the number of spells you can prepare.
