Army's Constitution

As an army master you have always found it difficult to see creatures suffer, therefore you put more of your focus onto healing magic becoming more of a healer in the front lines than a creature in the front lines that causes destruction, some may call you a life saver, others may call you a terrified unskilled fighter, whatever they call you, you still follow your passion in saving lives.

The True Avatar of Healing In your studies you have grasped the true meaning of the concept known as healing, so well in fact that you can become an avatar of healing and heal allies tremendously well, as an action you can become the avatar of healing, shining in a bright blue glow that sheds bright light in a 60 ft radius and another 60 ft for dim light, even if you aren't proficient in heavy armor that bright blue light manifests into full plate but does not give benefits to full plate, along with the armor manifesting a sword of your choice is holstered or created in your hand with a shield or an additional sword(the swords or shield benefits are below), you give off the most pleasant gaze to any creature that meets it almost like life itself was standing before them. You can use this once per long rest and gain the following benefits.

Army's Strength

As an army master you are the back bone of an army or the one creating a back bone for an army, boosting a persons courage and strength sheerly by words, therefore you thought "Why can't I make an army of strength that even the gods can't rival?" after that happy thought you decided to study this type of magic more in hopes to create an army that is a powerhouse.
