Sanctified Flame - a combined Fire and Radiant Sacred Flame.

For a Moonlight-themed Alternative with Cold damage instead of Fire damage, see: Hallowed Flame.

Splits the 1d8 Radiant damage of Vanilla Sacred Flame into 1d4 Fire damage and 1d4 Radiant damage, and introduces further utility in a flavourful way; Aberrations, Fiends and Undead take an additional 1d4 Fire damage and 1d4 Radiant damage and have their applicable Resistances ignored on a successful cast, and will take half the base damage of the Cantrip on a successful save. Successful casts also apply a 2 turn DOT effect that has a unique Stack ID, meaning it will stack with other forms of Burning; Aberrations, Fiends and Undead will take additional Radiant damage from the DOT. Unsuccessful casts/ Successful saves still damage Aberrations, Fiends and Undead, they just take half the base damage of the Cantrip (no bonus dice), and any applicable resistances will further limit the damage dealt. As a bonus, if the caster has Potent Cantrip, then failed casts against Aberrations, Fiends and Undead will still deal the full amount of standard damage (no bonus dice) and will ignore resistances, and there is a reason for this specifically: Due to how the game is coded, the argument that allows attacks to globally ignore resistances seems to also have the added effect of any damage ignoring Vulnerabilities; if this damage could be reduced by Resistance, then it could also be doubled by Vulnerability; it'd be a tad strange to say the least if a failed cast could result in a caster doing more damage of a certain type than on a successful cast.

As can be seen in the screenshots, the overall damage displayed in the tooltip(s) is slightly misleading due to how the engine displays it (exemplified in the Vanilla Vampire Bite tooltip); I can't really fix that, unfortunately. With that being said, it works simply enough, and scales the same as other Cantrips (damage dice-wise most similarly to Sacred Wind), with the DOTs increasing in potency at Level 11:

[]At Level 1: 1d4 Fire damage + 1d4 Radiant damage, 1d4 Fire DOT; Aberrations, Fiends and Undead take an additional 1d4 Fire damage + 1d4 Radiant damage, 1d4 Fire + 1d4 Radiant total DOT[/]
