Lesser Atonement

2nd-level abjuration

"Those who ministered to the Lord offered the daily burnt offering."
Judith 4:14

Casting Time: Magic action

Range: Self

Components: V, S, M (a burnt offering, specific to the type of sin to be forgiven, which is consumed)

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

Cleansing energy radiates out from you in a 30-foot-radius aura. Until the spell ends, the aura moves with you, centered on you. The magic of sin is dispelled inside of this radius, and any creature that enters this area for the first time on its turn or begins its turn there is instantly forgiven for sins associated with the chosen type.

When you cast this spell, you name a specific type of sin to be dispelled. The type can be pride, wrath, envy, gluttony, greed, sloth, or lust. The type named also determines the material component (shown in the table below), which must be burnt and consumed during the casting of the spell.

Any magic within this aura that requires sin as a material component is instantly dispelled, and any simulacra created by the spell Weave Sin (using sin of the chosen type) take 2d6 force damage when it enters this space for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there.

Sin	Burnt Offering
Envy	A rare, or rarer magic item
Greed	A gem worth 500 gp or more
Gluttony	The fangs of a dragon
Lust	The heart of a creature killed in self-defense
Pride	The spellcasting focus of the caster
Sloth	A stone taken from the peak of a mountain
Wrath	The tears of a unicorn, freely given
