Design Note: Light Domain Updates

 Here are the main updates in this subclass since the Player's Handbook (5e):

• Bonus Cantrip has been replaced by Divine Order in the base class.
• Domain Spells contains several different spells, fleshing out the list with options that emphasize revelation.
• Warding Flare now has Improved Flare rolled into it, allowing the Cleric to use the feature on themselves and their allies.
• Revealing Light is a new 6th-level feature.
• Potent Spellcasting has been replaced by Blessed Strikes in the base class.
• Corona of Light now also benefits Radiance of the Dawn, and it no longer requires an action to deactivate early.
