Way of the Shifting Light

Founded by a monk who was exiled for questioning traditions, followers of the Way of the Shifting Light are encouraged to be as versatile and changing as the light itself. Followers of this school are taught to sharpen their mind, body and soul for the greater good, but punishment for misuse of their abilities is only considered in the most extreme of cases.

Flashing Rush

When you choose this tradition at third level, you learn to rush towards other creatures with a burst of either creeping darkness or advancing light. As a bonus action, you can spend 2 ki points to teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of another creature that you can see and make an unarmed strike against it. The creature must be within a range up to your movement speed, and you must make no other movement on the same turn before or after using this feature.

The unarmed strike made with Flashing Rush can either function as normal or instead allow the creature to regain hit points equal to your unarmed strike damage. When used to regain hit points, Flashing Rush’s unarmed strike does not require an attack roll and has no effect on undead or constructs.

Twilit Techniques

At 6th level, you can use your ki to duplicate the effects of certain spells. As an action, you can spend 2 ki points to cast daylight, darkness, blur or see invisibility without providing material components.

Additionally, you gain the light and thaumaturgy cantrips if you don’t already know them.

Dying Light

At 11th level, your Flashing Rush seems emboldened by even deeper darkness and more brilliant light. The unarmed strike made with Flashing Rush gains your choice of either radiant or necrotic damage with each attack, equal to your Wisdom modifier. When used to regain hit points, Flashing Rush’s unarmed strike also gains this bonus amount.

Additionly, when you use Flashing Rush, you are immune to fear until the start of your next turn.

The Edge of Light

At 17th level, you can spend 7 ki points to cast Holy Aura without needing material components but which only extends in a 10-foot radius. You must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again.
