Channel Divinity: once a day he can either
Abjure Enemy - He shows his signet ring and whispers a short prayer. He points the ring at someone or something and it immediately is washed over with a feeling of fear.

Vow of Enmity - He shows his signet ring and whispers a short prayer. He points the ring at someone or something and washes his body with divine energy. His strikes against the target for the next minute are more true and much harder to avoid since they are now guided by divine power.

Those creatures cannot pass the barrier and have difficulty teleporting into the area. Those creatures also have a hard time hitting something within its barrier as its attacks and movements to make attacks are magically pushed against by the barrier and its contents.

He can also do the reverse and attempt to lock those types of creatures inside its boundaries.

Dimension Door - He instantly teleports from his current position to another place within 500 feet of his original starting point. It can be a place that he can see, visualize, or describe by stating distance and direction. He brings everything he is carrying and can take one person he is touching along with everything they are carrying. If he were to arrive at a place that is already occupied by something, he gets ejected from that place to the nearest unoccupied space and takes severe damage as his body is forcibly flung from space.

Destructive Wave - He strikes the ground, creating a burst of divine energy that ripples outward from him. Each person or creature within 30 feet of him is knocked down and takes severe damage from the shockwave. A creature can resist being knocked down but will still take damage from the blast as divine energy overloads their body.

Dispel Evil and Good - Shimmering energy surrounds him and protects him from spirits, undead, demons, and celestials. These creatures have a hard time attacking him as the barrier magically repels their attacks and movements to make attacks against him. He can use the energy from this barrier on a person who is possessed or otherwise affected by one of those types of creatures, ending those conditions. He can also attempt to use the energy to affect the creature the similar way as the Banishment spell, sending them to their home plane of existence, or a harmless plane of existence for eternity. Using either of those two effects takes up all the energy of the spell and dismisses it afterwards.

Hold Monster - He forces even a strong willed creature to be restrained by a divine force. Any time they would be struck by a weapon other than their own, they have a chance to break free from its grasp though only for a moment.

Geas - He can command a semi weak minded being to follow his orders for 30 days, if they do something that directly goes against his wishes they suffer mental damage that could potentially kill them, but no more than once every day. If a being can’t understand him it doesn’t affect them. He can’t command them to do something that would lead to certain death. A Remove Curse spell can end this effect.

Scrying - He pictures in his mind a creature, person, place, or thing. As long as they are on the same plane of existence as him, he creates an invisible orb of magic within their range that is hidden from magical detection. Someone who can see invisible objects can see the orb. He can then see and hear through the orb as if he were in its place. The orb travels with the creature, person, place, or thing and stays perpetually 10 feet away from the target.
