Crystal Channeler

In the sprawling Free Cities, where alliances are fragile and the will of many binds the streets, the Crystal Channelers serve as living conduits of the Consensus’s hope. Their magic flows not from unchecked raw power but from disciplined harmony with ancient crystal shards, fragments of a forgotten star or sacred relics infused with restorative and protective energies. These shards resonate with the collective will of the city, empowering Crystal Channelers to heal wounds, bolster defenses, and sustain the lifeblood of those who stand as guardians of order, the Oath of the Consensus paladins.

A Crystal Channeler is as much a healer and protector as a wielder of arcane force. They undergo regular crystal therapy rituals, meditating in communal halls surrounded by glowing shards, to attune their spirit and Source to the city’s pulse. Their magic manifests as prisms of shimmering light, casting protective wards that ripple like water across the battlefield. Bound by duty and shard, they hold the fragile balance between destruction and restoration, a beacon of calm amid chaos.

Crystal Channeler Spell List

(These spells do not count against your spells known.)

(1st Level)

Crystal Resonance

You learn to channel your Source through a crystalline focus. As a bonus action, you can expend 1 Source Well die to grant yourself or an ally within 30 feet temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + the die roll.

Crystal Shard Bond

Your Source is a living crystal shard, embedded or carried as a focus. While attuned to your shard:

• You gain resistance to psychic damage.
• Your spellcasting gains a shimmering prism effect: when you cast a spell that heals or grants temporary hit points, it emits soft, refracted light.
• You learn the Mage Hand cantrip (manifested as a floating crystal shard).
• You can cast Cure Wounds and Shield of Faith once each without expending a spell slot or casting check. These do not count against your known spells.

Crystal Therapy Ritual

You must undergo a meditation or healing ritual involving your crystal shard at least once per long rest. This ritual restores 1 level of exhaustion (if any), and grants you advantage on your next saving throw against charm or fear effects until your next long rest.

First Infusion

Your eyes gain a faint inner glow; soft crystal veining appears in your palms and collar.

(5th Level)

Shard’s Ward

When you or an ally you can see within 10 feet is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction and expend 1 Source Well die to grant a +2 bonus to AC against that attack.

Aura of Consensus

You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you have advantage on saving throws against being frightened or charmed as long as your Source Shard is active.

Resonant Bloom

Iridescent sigils appear along your arms; your voice takes on a harmonic echo.

(10th Level)

Purifying Surge

When you roll a Surge, if you roll a 6 or higher, all allies within 10 feet are cured of one minor condition (blinded, poisoned, or frightened).

Crystal Clarity

You have advantage on saving throws against charm and fear effects.

Crystal Heart

Your chest pulses with a shard-like glow; emotions ripple off your body in waves.

(15th Level)

Radiant Shard

Once per long rest, you can unleash the pure energy of your crystal shard in a 20-foot cone. Allies in the cone regain hit points equal to twice your Adorcist level, and fiends or undead creatures take radiant damage equal to your Charisma modifier × your Adorcist level.

Capstone Surge

When you roll a Surge, you may choose one Surge effect to trigger twice or double its effect once per long rest.

Living Prism

(Capstone Transformation) Your skin now reflects a soft, glasslike sheen. Your presence glows like a walking crystal shrine. Your Source fully infuses you.
