You bring down heavenly energies to surround the target creature, taking the form of tiny mote of dim light. For the duration, when the creature makes an ability check or saving throw, you can use your reaction to add 1d4 to its roll. Additionally, whenever the target is damaged by a creature that it can see within 30 feet of it, it can use its reaction to have its guardian angel spirit lash out with radiant energy at their attacker. The attacker must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or take 3d8 radiant damage, taking half on a success.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage dealt with each reaction increases by 1d8 per spell slot level expended above 3rd.

Class(es): Cleric, Paladin
