You have learned the basics of a particular magical tradition. Choose one spell list: Arcane, Divine, or Primal. You gain the following benefits related to that choice.

  • Two Cantrips: You learn two cantrips of your choice from the Divine spell list. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells (choose when you select this feat).
  • Level 1 Spell: Choose a level 1 spell from the Divine spell list. You always have that spell prepared. You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have.
