Magic Initiate (Cleric)

Learn introductory cleric magic and a limited spell casting.

Origin feat; Cleric spell-list choice.

Choose the Cleric, Druid, or Wizard spell list. Learn two cantrips and one level 1 spell from that list. Choose Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma as the spellcasting ability for these spells.

The level 1 spell is always prepared. You can cast it once without a slot, regaining that free casting after a Long Rest; you may also cast it with your available spell slots.

On gaining a level, you may replace one spell selected for this feat with a spell of the same level from the chosen list.

You can take this feat again, choosing a different one of those spell lists each time.

This background grants the Cleric version. Choose its two cantrips and level 1 spell from the Cleric list.
