What does the cleric spell Radiant Stike actually do?

The description is that it "deals mental damage" - what does that mean?

It does direct damage to it's target, and the type of damage is Mental,
which means that mobs that are resistant to Mental damage are more likely
to resist it. As I vaguely recall, that is one of several types of saves
that mobs and players can have.

Visually, a big red sword appears and drops on your target. I think with
still app1 level at 20, it's doing 50 or so damage + another 11 if the
target is undead. I don't use it unless I'm trying to complete an Heroic
Opportunity and my admonishing smite adept 1 is resisted.

As for mental damage, think of it as messing with your target's brain
waves/thoughts. Lots of enchanter spells have a mental resist check as
well.
