Homebrew: Paladin Oath

Sacred Oaths
At 3rd level, a paladin gains the Sacred Oath feature. Here is
the new option, for the devout of Prisma: Oath of Worldly
Purification.
Oath of Worldly Purification
Loyalty to Prisma means always striving to further her grip
on her liberated worlds, and always seeking to assist in
bringing new ones into the spread of her radiance, freed from
the chains of their ignorance and lesser toil. You seek to see
her glorified and worshipped, ideally by conversion but if
necessary, by force. You know that the only true magic is that
which originates from her power, and understand that the
corrupting, twisted influence of lesser forms of the art are but
false promises and lies, and will stop at nothing to see it
wiped from every world that you plant your feet upon, so only
true beauty will remain. Prisma is not a cruel goddess, and
you do not wish to portray her as such, but at times the lesser
worlds do not know what is in their best interests, and you
will serve as their shepherd by any means necessary.
Tenets of Worldly Purification
As an ordained purifier, you are at the forefront of her
rightfully-expanding worship, serving to guide newfound
sentients to the welcoming home they have long since
desired in their heart of hearts. As such, the tenets of your
oath are simple and reasonable promises taken to better
glorify Prisma, and bring more and greater power to her and
her rescued worlds.

Aura of Channeling
Beginning at 7th level, your connection to Prisma serves as a
conduit for her power that may be utilised to strengthen and
empower the spells of those who draw their magical energy
from her. You and friendly creatures of her faith within 10

You may use this ability a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier (minimum 1). When you finish a long rest,
you regain all expended uses.
