Almost every culture has a legend about where the world came from, and many of them center on the idea that the world as the mortal races know it is a creation made by a divine hand. The gods of the Creation domain might be revered as the creators of the world, or they might simply be worshiped as the gods who hold dominion over forges, craftsmen, shipwrights, artists, and other makers. Of course, there is also an aspect of creation that clears away the rubble of the old before the new can be made; for every making, there is also an unmaking. Clerics gifted with the powers of the Creation domain are highly valued by the leaders of expeditions, as their ability to conjure up just what the expedition needs on a moment’s notice allows the group to quickly deal with any adversity that might come their way.

Disciple of Creation
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency with all kinds of artisans’ tools. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses artisans’ tools.
Gift of Making
Also when you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain the
thaumaturgy cantrip if you do not already know it, and can use it to create a nonmagical trinket or tool that can fit into your hand. The object created lasts until the end of your next turn.
Channel Divinity: Divine Fabrication
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create objects using the powers of the divine forges.
You can spend 1 minute presenting your holy symbol and describe a nonmagical inanimate object that can fit entirely within a cube that is 10 feet on each side. The object appears on the ground in an unoccupied space you choose within 30 feet of you; if there is not enough room for the object to be created in such a space, you cannot use your Channel Divinity in this way. The object you describe must be one that you have seen before, and must have a value of less than 3,000 gp. The object is visibly crude, though perfectly functional, obviously magical (covered in a shimmering
sheen visible even in dim light), and lacks any kind of fine detail or ornamentation. The object disappears after 1 hour, or if you use this feature again, or if you are ever more than 30 feet away from the object.
Simple Enchantment
Beginning at 6th level, when you cast the
magic weapon spell, it does not require concentration to maintain its effect. If you cast
magic weapon and then cast it again before the spell ends, the first casting of the spell ends immediately.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 bludgeoning damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Supreme Fabrication
Starting at 17th level, when you use your Divine Fabrication feature, the object you create must fit entirely within a cube that is 50 feet on each side.
