Sage of Light is one of several possible subclasses you can gain as a member of the sage class.
Your subclass affects which spells you can prepare as a sage, and what proficiencies you gain at 1st level. Your subclass grants more features at 2nd, 6th, 10th, and 14th levels.
Domain Proficiencies
Your supernatural affinity with light instills you with knowledge and skill of mysterious origin. Your sage capabilities gleam with several proficiencies.
You gain proficiency with broadswords and rapiers.
You gain proficiency with one skill of your choice from History, Insight, Medicine, and Religion.
If this is your first class, you can read, write, and speak one language of your choice from Ancient, Minish, and Zoran.
Light Path
Each light sage embodies their domain in a different way—each way is merely one path of many to all reach a similar destination. Your chosen path encompasses supernatural talents and aptitudes that feel natural. At 2nd level, you gain one of the following paths of your choice.
You can later change your path or follow an additional one with your Improvement feature.
Fi's Arsenal
You gain proficiency with light armor, medium armor, shields (but not heavy shields), longbows, and longswords.
Prelude of Courage
You gain proficiency with another musical instrument of your choice. You can use a musical instrument which you are proficient as the spellcasting focus for your sage spells. While manipulating it, you can perform the somatic components of your sage spells without a free hand.
When you cast life or heal, the target is absolved of the blinded, frightened, jinxed, and petrified conditions.
You gain the light cantrip, and it does not count against your cantrips known. If you already have this cantrip, you instead gain another cantrip of your choice from your sage spell list.
Gaepora's Erudition
Gain 3 proficiency points, which you can invest either immediately or during downtime.
You become an expert in one skill of your choice from History, Medicine, and and Religion.
Royal Magic
You gain the sparkle cantrip, and it does not count against your cantrips known. If you already have this cantrip, you instead gain another cantrip of your choice from your sage spell list.
You can cast disguise self and phantom slash even if you don't them prepared.
Sahasrahla's Sending
You gain the message cantrip, and it does not count against your cantrips known. If you already have this cantrip, you instead gain another cantrip of your choice from your sage spell list.
You can cast magic mouth and sending even if you don't have them prepared, though you must still meet the normal Magic Limit to cast them.
Legacy of Light
Starting from 6th level, the influence of past sages begins to well up within you. You decide how your newfound resilience takes shape with one of the following benefits:
- Rauru's Preservation. If a creature within 30 feet of you drops to 0 heart points, you can use your reaction to stabilize that creature immediately. You can't target yourself with this feature.
- Serenity of Seres. You have resistance to radiant, necrotic, and thunder damage.
- Kaepora's Escort. Instead of moving as normal during your turn, you can teleport to an unoccupied space within 20 feet of you if that space is adjacent to a friendly creature. You can't otherwise move during the turn you use this feature.
- Rhoam's Regality. You and any creature under your blessing adds the d4 bonus die to all Charisma (Intimidation) checks. Any effect which increases the bonus die provided by your blessing also increases this bonus die.
Divinity
At 14th level, you learn to augment your supernatural gifts with truly divine power from the gods. You gain one of the following benefits:
- Hylia's Blade. Once per turn, when a creature under your blessing hits with an attack roll, it can add a d8 bonus die to the damage roll as radiant damage. If different features add bonus dice to your damage roll, they don't combine. Add only the highest.
- Nayru's Wisdom. You have advantage on all Wisdom saving throws.
- Seal Magic. When a creature you have baned makes a saving throw to maintain concentration, it does so with disadvantage. When the baned creature casts a spell, you can use your reaction to end the bane and prevent the spell from being cast.
- Zelda's Arrow. When a creature is under your bane, you can use your action to make a ranged spell attack against that creature if it is within 300 feet of you. A hit deals 2d12 piercing damage plus 2d12 radiant damage, and grants advantage on all attack rolls targeting that creature until the start of your next turn.
