Guided Hand
The Acolyte utters a silent request for aid (a free action) against an opponent whose goals are opposed to his gods Area's of Concern. This designates that opponent as a target for divine retribution manifesting in advantage in all attacks against that enemy. If he is put into a position where he already has advantage he instead gains a +2 to the attacks for that round instead. This effect lasts until the beginning of his next turn.
Enlightened Spell
As a swift action the Acolyte can empower a spell when acting in the interests of their god. This raises the effective level of the caster by 4 for the purposes of the spells effects, including any amplified effects.
Blessings:
