Duality Domain
A cleric of the Duality Domain sees nature as a set of mirrored aspects that are equally complementary and opposing to each other. Examples include dichotomies such as that of body and soul, metaphysical notions such as death and renewal, and concepts such as yin and yang.

Sage
1st-level Duality Domain feature
You gain one cantrip of your choice, but it must come from the cleric, druid, or sorcerer spell list. It counts as a cleric spell for you, and doesn’t count against the number of cantrips you know from this class.
In addition, you can use a druid focus, such as a staff, as your spellcasting focus.
Talisman Casting
1st-level Duality Domain feature
You can cast a cleric spell you have prepared using a talisman of some sort (such as an ofuda, bead, or crystal). When you do so, the spell becomes a psionic effect and doesn't require
verbal or material components, unless they are consumed by the spell.
In addition, if the spell is a 1st-level spell with a casting time of 1 action, you can choose to cast it as a bonus action. When you reach certain levels in this class, the maximum level of a spell you can cast as a bonus action increases: at 5th level (2nd-level spells), 9th level (3rd-level spells), 13th level (4th-level spells), and 17th level (5th-level spells).
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Channel Divinity: Sacred Invocation
2nd-level Duality Domain feature
You expend a use of your Channel Divinity to manifest a power from a dorje or cast a spell from a scroll in your possession as if it is a cleric spell for you. Unless the dorje’s or scroll’s attack modifier and save DC are higher than yours, you use your statistics. When you activate this feature, the dorje or scroll immediately appears in your hand, provided you have an open hand.
Channel Divinity: Contain Spirits
6th-level Duality Domain feature
As an action you can exorcise a spirit. When you perform an exorcism, a spirit (celestial, elemental, fey, fiend, or undead) must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC or be banished, as the banishment spell with a duration of 10 minutes that doesn’t require concentration.
If the creature possesses a target, it is instead driven immediately from the target on a failed saving throw, and can’t attempt to repossess the host for 24 hours.
Potent Spellcasting
8th-level Duality Domain feature
You add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.
Discord and Harmony
17th-level Duality Domain feature
You are always under the effects of the protection from evil and good spell. This is both a magical and psionic effect, and unless both facets are suppressed, you retain its benefits.
In addition, you can target a beast, elemental, giant, monstrosity, ooze, or plant with a CR no greater than 8 with your Contain Spirits feature to trap its soul and control it. The creature is treated as the target of the dominate monster spell, but its duration becomes concentration up to 1 minute or until you cast a spell. A controlled creature automatically fails on its saving throw against your banishment spell if you cast it with 1 round of controlling it.
