The Oracle of the Heavens v2

Only wielded by two people in all of history, the Oracle of the Heavens is one of the most feared beings all around Valakadyn. Capable of lighting fast destruction on a cataclysmic scale, the two of them have been on the winning side of every conflict they've participated in the end. Originally bestowed upon Orazio Aster, First Oracle of the Heavens, he alone wielded this incredible power for over two thousand years. In concert with both the Belt and Crown of Vaka, he defeated countless enemies in his centuries of battle, god and mortal alike. In 1952AS, Orazio was killed by the Mad King of Apollyon, and he passed his powers on to his grandson, the infant Djin Aster, Second Oracle of the Heavens. After being whisked away to Newbiggin in the wake of his grandfather's death, Orazio trained for his entire childhood in order to avenge his predecessor. Eventually, the young Oracle, believing himself ready, stormed the city of Ljustad, only to be defeated nearly instantly be the Mad King's Right Hand, Thordak Cinder (who was eventually revealed to by the one and only Ergeaux Lyon, The Oracle of Illusion). Orazio was imprisoned, where he encountered King Kallus Aulani, Sixth Oracle of the Dark and Steward of the North. They immediately recognized the chance the other posed, and used their combined power to break out of prison, freeing the other inmates and beginning a revolution to take down the Mad King. After 10 long years, they were victorious. Kallus stood at the throne, with Djin at his side. Since the end of the war, Djin has been the head of the Apollyonic Grand Reserve, serving as it's only member. That is, until a certain group of misfits came along. Now, after the events of the Battle of Newbiggin, Djin has ascended, claiming the title of God of Thunder.

Oracle Features

The Oracle is a power system designed to work alongside your standard class, augmenting your main classes as you level up. Your Oracle Level starts at Level 1 when you become an Oracle, whether born with the power or gifted it. Generally, your Oracle Level corresponds to your Character Level, and you gain an Oracle Level by leveling up in your main class. If you become an Oracle above Level 1, your Oracle Level increases twice as fast as your character level until your Oracle Level matches your Character Level. If your character Ascends, your Oracle Level instantly increases to 20.
As an Oracle, you are granted additional proficiencies, and the ability to cast spells. When playing a spellcaster class, such as Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid, Bard, or Cleric, you use the Oracle spellcasting rules. When playing a half-caster class, such as Warlock, Paladin, or Ranger, you use the Oracle spellcasting rules when casting Oracle spells, and your classes spellcasting rules when casting other spells.
You gain the following features:

Proficiencies

• Saving Throws: Constitution, Charisma
• Skills: Arcana, History, Religion
• Languages: You learn Primordial and Celestial when you become an Oracle.

Spellcasting

You are a divine vessel, granted power without your choice, selected by providence to wield powers that even you do not fully understand. See chapter 10 of the Player’s Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and below for the divine spell list.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from any classes spell lists. You learn additional cantrips of your choice at higher levels as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Oracle table at the bottom of the class description.

Spell Slots

The Oracle table shows how many spell slots you have in order to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know two 1st level spells of your choice from any classes' spell list. Spells chosen must be of your element (see Oracle Powers and Damage Types), or pure aether general purpose spells, such as Shield, Counterspell, Dispel Magic, Antimagic Field, etc.
The Spells Known column of the Oracle table shows when you learn more spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level, you can choose to replace one of the spells you know and replace it with another spell from your spell lists, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Of all the things I've done, all the despots I've ended, I have only regretted one thing: not being able to put your head on a spike alongside Myrthos' where it belongs. Just you wait, Dwendal. Your time is coming too. Judgement comes for us all.

— Orazio Aster, First Oracle of the Heavens in his final moments.

Power to Heal or Harm

In addition to the other spells you know at 1st level, you learn both the Cure Wounds spell and the Inflict Wounds spell.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Oracle spells, since you learn your spells through divine providence. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an oracle spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spellcasting Focus

When you choose your Mystery at 1st level, arcane tattoos begin creeping up one of your arms (your choice), acting as a focus for your spells. As your Oracular powers grow, so to do the tattoos, granting you further abilities. At 20th level, the tattoos cover the entire chosen side of your body (minus the face). When an Oracle Ascends, their tattoos grow to encompass their entire body.

Oracle Spells

You learn certain spells at their corresponding levels as shown on the Elemental Spells table in each subclass' description. None of these spells count towards your limit of spells known.

A storm cloud appears in the shape of a cylinder that is 10 feet tall with a 60-foot radius, centered on a point you can see within range directly above you. The spell fails if you can’t see a point in the air where the storm cloud could appear (for example, if you are in a room that can’t accommodate the cloud).
When you cast the spell, choose a point you can see under the cloud. A bolt of lightning flashes down from the cloud to that point. Each creature within 5 feet of that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d10 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On each of your turns until the spell ends, you can use your action to call down lightning in this way again, targeting the same point or a different one.
If you are outdoors in stormy conditions when you cast this spell, the spell gives you control over the existing storm instead of creating a new one. Under such conditions, the spell’s damage increases by 1d10.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using 4 or more spell points, the damage increases by 1d10 for each additional point spent over 3.

At each activation, targets must make a Constitution Saving Throw to withstand the assault, taking half as much damage on a successful save. Alternatively, targets may use their own domain to counter this, rendering both void.
