Radiant Damage
Radiant power is often mistaken as goodly aligned holy magic, but it is neither good nor evil and is instead a focused energy of life that burns through undead flesh like a hot dagger through butter. As such it is not exclusive to goodly magic users, but is still an effective tool against undead and a few unholy monsters. Neutral clerics, and even a few evil ones, have been known to favor this shimmering, almost blinding energy.
In its raw form, Radiant energy is harmless to living creatures. If it is directed towards a living creature, it is often experienced as a tingling or warm sensation. When it is properly shaped and directed (a difficult task), it even forms a basis for healing magics. However, as unleashed energy, it becomes a powerful weapon against the undead, ripping apart the dark necrotic energies that bind such creatures together.
Special Rules:
Radiant damage typically only deals damage to undead and similar creatures.
