Turn Undead (sage ability)
From The Authentic D&D Wiki
Turn Undead is an amateur-status sage ability that enables the character to force back or destroy undead through faith. Some ability is granted for those with less than 10 knowledge in dweomercraft, the sage study from which "turn undead" derives — empowering every cleric or paladin with the ability to some degree. As knowledge is accumulated in dweomercraft, rather than levels, the character becomes increasingly effective against undead creatures with the ability.
