This spell is a variation of:
 Banishing Smite

Notes

• This spell can only be learned by Bards via Magical Secrets at level 10, as Paladins do not get access to level 5 spells until level 17 in D&D 5e.
• The spell is used similar to  Divine Smite where you select it before a weapon attack, then if you miss the attack the spell slot is not expended. Unlike  Divine Smite there is no reaction in the UI for it. If the target is reduced to 1-49 Hit Points it is then  Banished for 2 turns.
• There is no save allowed for any aspect of this spell.
• If the weapon attack roll is a critical, then it does
  10d10 (10~100) Force
  damage.
