Turn Undead: Master of radiance class levels stack with levels of all other classes that grant the ability to turn undead for the purpose of determining the character’s effective cleric level for turning.
Radiant Aura: A master of radiance can emanate an aura of brilliant light that weakens undead creatures. Undead creatures within the radius of the bright light take a -2 penalty on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. The master of radiance can use this ability one per day at 1st level, twice per day at 2nd level, and three times per day at 5th level. Each use lasts 1 minute.

Beam of Sunlight: At 5th level, a master of radiance can use a Beam of Sunlight (See Sunbeam) as a standard action once per round as long as her radiant aura is active. This uses the spellcasting level associated with the Master of Radiance +2.
