Sun Blade
You fire a ray of burning sunlight from your weapon. You must be wielding a sword or spear to cast sun blade , and you perform this spell's somatic component with the weapon. Make a spell attack roll. The ray deals 1d4 fire damage. If the target is unholy, the ray deals an additional 1d4 spirit damage, and if the target is undead, the ray deals an additional 1d4 vitality damage (both effects apply against creatures that are both unholy and undead). If you are in an area of bright natural sunlight, increase the die size of each damage die by one step (from d4 to d6).
Critical Success The ray deals double damage.
Success The ray deals full damage.
Heightened (+1) The damage increases by 1d4 fire, 1d4 spirit, and 1d4 vitality (or 1d6 of each type of damage in bright natural sunlight).
Traits
An ability with this trait involves an attack. For each attack you make beyond the first on your turn, you take a multiple attack penalty.
An action with this trait requires a degree of mental concentration and discipline.
Effects with the fire trait deal fire damage, or either conjure or manipulate fire. Those that manipulate fire have no effect in an area without fire. Creatures with this trait consist primarily of fire or have a connection to magical fire.
Focus spells are a special type of spell attained directly from a branch of study, from a deity, or from another specific source. You can learn focus spells only through special class features or feats, rather than choosing them from a spell list. Furthermore, you cast focus spells using a special pool of Focus Points—you can't prepare a focus spell in a spell slot or use your spell slots to cast focus spells; similarly, you can't spend your Focus Points to cast spells that aren't focus spells.
Light effects overcome non-magical darkness in the area, and can counteract magical darkness. You must usually target darkness magic with your light magic directly to counteract the darkness, but some light spells automatically attempt to counteract darkness.
You must physically manipulate an item or make gestures to use an action with this trait. Creatures without a suitable appendage can't perform actions with this trait. Manipulate actions often trigger reactions.
Effects with this trait heal living creatures with energy from the Forge of Creation, deal vitality energy damage to undead, or manipulate vitality energy.
