Prerequisite

Benefit

When employing a spell with the acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic designator, the deity can modify the spell to deal subdual damage instead of the indicated type of energy damage. The altered spell uses a spell slot of the spell's normal level. The altered spell works normally in all respects except the type of damage dealt. For example, a fireball spell changed to a subdualball spell works like a fireball, but it deals subdual damage instead of fire damage.
