Cleric Subclass: Memory Domain
Worshipers of the Gods or Goddesses of Memory are known as the record keepers of time and history. One way or another, they are the ones who hold all truths. Their temples serve as a local library or a school for the community they're in.
Clerics of Memory are said to be the easiest to find but hardest to remember. Their power is tied to alternating their impressions in the memories of others. A mysterious traveler might exited a shopkeep without anyone noticing or remembering why they were there.

Channel Divinity: Flavor Memory
2nd-level Memory Domain feature
You can affect a creature's memory of an event that it experienced within the last one minute. As a reaction, choose one Charisma check which happened to a creature you can see within 30 ft. of you. You may choose to add a +10 bonus or a -10 penalty to the roll.
If there's no Charisma ability checks made, you choose to alter how pleasant the interaction was to the creature.
A flavored memory doesn't necessarily affect how a creature behaves, particularly if the memory contradicts the creature's natural inclinations, alignment, or beliefs.
Dominate Mind
6th-level Memory Domain feature
When you or a creature you can see within 60 feet cast a spell that forces creatures to make an Intelligence or Wisdom saving throw, you can use your reaction to empower the mind-bending aspects of the spell, forcing all affected creatures to make their rolls at disadvantage. Any affected creature that fails its save by 5 or more will temporarily fall under the effect of amnesia.
Creatures with amnesia lose memories of random events or vital facts they have learned. They fall under the state of endless delirium. The creatures are incapacitated and have a speed of 0.
An amnesic target can make an Intelligence saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, the amnesic effect ends. The creature that succeeds its saving throw is immune to amnesia effect for the next 24 hours.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend your use of Channel Divinity to use it again.
