Banishment Slash, a Fifth Circle protection spell, infuses the caster's weapon attack with extraordinary supernatural force and banishes the target. If the target is not a native of the current plane, it will be sent back to its home plane; if the target is a native of the current plane or is not a planar creature, it will be teleported to a harmless demiplane and rendered incapacitated. When the caster ends their spell concentration or the spell's duration reaches its one-minute limit, the banished target will be teleported back and reappear at its previous location.
A similar spell in the Fourth Circle is Banishment, which has nearly the same effect as Banishment Slash, with the difference in activation method—Banishment requires a standard casting action and a material object that the target detests as casting material; whereas Banishment Slash requires neither a casting action nor a material object, only a short incantation to cast.
