### Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

***Arcane Abjuration***
You can use your Channel Divinity to abjure otherworldly creatures. As an action, you present your holy symbol and one celestial, elemental, fey, or fiend of your choice with 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw, provided it can see or hear you. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

After you reach 11th level, when a creature fails its saving throw against your Arcane Abjuration feature, the creature is banished for 1 minute (as the banishment spell, no concentration required) if it isn't on its plane of origin and its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown on the table below.

| Paladin Level  | CR |
|:---:|:----------|
|  11th  | 2 |
|  14th  | 3 |
|  17th  | 4 |

***Chromatic Barrier***
As a bonus action, you can use your Channel Divinity to bolster your allies with arcane protection. Each creature of your choice that can hear you within 30 feet of you gain temporary hit points equal to your paladin level. Upon being hit by an attack, the arcane energy lashes out towards the aggressor and deals damage equal to half your paladin level+ your charisma Modifier (Minimum 1).

Roll a d6. The number rolled determines the damage type for the remainder of this features duration:

|  4  | Force |
|  5  | Lightning |
|  6  | Thunder |
 
 This effect lasts until the temporary hit points are depleted or if the paladin is unconscious, or dead.
