A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move
as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly end
its move in a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't
take reactions. For its action, it can only use 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 5th level, when a creature fails its sav-
ing throw against your Arcane Abjuration feature, the
creature is banished for 1 minute (as in 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 Arcane Banishment table.

SPELL BREAKER
Starting at 6th level, when you restore hit points to an
ally with a spell of 1st level or higher, you can also end
one spell of your choice on that creature. The level of the
spell you end must be equal to or lower than the level of
the spell slot you use to cast the healing spell.
POTENT SPELLCASTING
Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to
the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.
ARCANE MASTERY
At 17th level, you choose four spells from the wizard
spell list, one from each of the following levels: 6th, 7th,
8th, and 9th. You add them to your list of domain spells.
Like your other domain spells, they are always prepared
and count as cleric spells for you. DRUID CIRCLES
