Help With Flavor Text, DnD 5e and Pathfinder

[darktemplar45]

Hey Guys, first let me start off with a quick apology as i'm mostly focusing on DnD5e with this question, but i'm sure the same applies to Pathfinder anyway and the PFS community is a little more active i figured i'd also get a quicker, more helpful response.

Anyway, So i've been playing a paladin in DnD 5e and i was trying to come up with some flavor text for when i cast a spell, when i noticed that i am particularly not good at it. I mean, i can spit something out like

"By the light of [insert deity here] I feel my wrath!"
or
"May [insert deity] protect us!".

But that sounds really generic and when I'm in game I find myself saying a lot of the same words over and over. So I'm looking for some help with these "invocations" or "holy proverbs" that would act like the verbal components of the spell. Something that i can say in character, and preferably something specific enough so that instead of saying "i cast cure light wounds" i can say what would sound like me reciting a holy text or other proverb or something so that over time both the DM and other players would recognize what spell i was casting by what invocation i was reciting. (effectively staying character while functionally progressing the game). Oh, and it needs to be restively short, like a few lines at the most.

Of course this could apply to any class and not just a divine one. And while i like the idea of writing something up and translating it to something like Latin in google, i'd rather it be in english for now. I'd probably do that if i was playing a more arcane class. And I know Bards tend to favor short poetic verses. But Holy proverbs escape me.

If it helps my character worships Pelor, god of the Sun, Light, Time, Agriculture, Fire (sometimes) and other generic good guy god stuff.

Here's a short list of some commonly used spells i have in DnD 5e

Bless
Thunderous/wrathful/searing smite (3 separate spells)
Crusader's Mantle
Aura of Vitality
Command
Spirit Guardians
Compel Duel
Lesser Restoration (this one comes up a lot)
Cure Wounds (5e doesn't have a distinction between light and moderate)

Thanks for your help guys, and if u have any other advice to help me come up with these on my own i'd GREATLY appreciate it!

Pelor is the sun god. The symbology of that faith should focus on light, dawn, fire, warmth, time, hope, sight, and such. There will be many sayings that focus on how bad things go away with a new dawn, how light can be seen for miles at night, how warmth lets things grow, and how the night must give way to dawn. Add in constant references to your deity, such as "By the light of Pelor..." and "In Pelor's eye, ..." and you have what you need.

Well while that is helpful, but i already had a few in mind like that. I'm also looking for something that sounds more mystic i guess. Like something that came out of a religious text rather than a decree of Pelor's might/light/sight or something.

You could use/alter passages from the Bible pretty easily. Matthew chapters 8 and 9 have multiple instances of people being healed, which would cover Cure Wounds and Restoration. For example:

Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind Pelor and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”

Pelor turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “the Light has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.
