Sea Channeler

At 6th level, you are able to harness the full might of the sea with your magic. The first time a creature fails a saving throw against one of your cleric spells of 1st level or higher, you can trigger one of the following effects:

• Rushing Wave: The target is knocked prone.
• Roaring Wind: The target is pushed 10 feet in a direction of your choice.

Large and smaller creatures are automatically affected. Huge and Gargantuan creatures can make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC to ignore these effects.

Divine Strike

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with the sea's fury. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 bludgeoning damage. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8. The attack counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Cresting Wave

At 17th level, you learn the great wave^SDS spell, which counts as a domain spell for you. When you cast it, you can choose any number of creatures you can see within 120 feet, granting them immunity to its damage.

Mighty Storm

Also at 17th level, your Sea Channeler ability gains an additional option, and you can select two options every time it activates.

• Thunderbolt: The target takes 2d8 lightning damage, and creatures within 5 feet take half as much.

• Replaces: Control Winds

You seize control of the air in a cube up to 300 feet on a side you can see within range, bending it to your will. Choose one of the following effects. The effect persists until the spell ends, or until you use your action to pause it or change it to a different effect. You can resume a paused effect as an action.

Gale. A steady wind blows in a horizontal direction of your choice. Creatures moving against the wind must spend 3 feet of movement for each foot, and ranged attacks made against the wind are impossible. Creatures moving with the wind cover an additional foot for each foot of movement spent. When a creature or projectile moves within the area, you can use your reaction to change the wind's direction. As a bonus action, you can create a gust, forcing all creatures within the area to make a Strength saving throw or be pushed 30 feet in the wind's direction.

Turbulence. You whip the wind into a chaotic vortex. Ranged attacks passing through the the wind are made at disadvantage. Creatures that fly into the wind's area, start their turn flying there, or start flying there have their fly speed reduced by half, and must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Thermal Column. You direct the wind to blow upwards. All creatures suffering fall damage within the wind can reduce that damage by 5 x your spellcasting modifier. When a creature within the wind makes a vertical jump, their jump height is tripled.

A 20-foot-radius sphere charged with crackling lightning and rumbling shockwaves appears centered on a point you choose within range. The sphere remains for the spell's duration; at the beginning of each of your turns, you can move the sphere up to 10 feet in a direction of your choice. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is lightly obscured and difficult terrain. Creatures inside the sphere are deafened, and creatures within 30 feet of the sphere have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks made to listen.

Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to direct a lightning strike from the sphere's center at one creature you choose within 60 feet of the center. Make a ranged spell attack. You have advantage on the attack roll if the target is in the sphere. On a hit, the target takes 4d8 lightning damage.
