Fire Shield

4th-level, Evocation

  • Casting time: 1 Action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S, M (a bit of phosphorus or a firefly)
  • Duration: 10 minutes

Wispy flames wreathe your body for the duration, shedding Bright Light in a 10-foot radius and Dim Light for an additional 10 feet.

The flames provide you with a warm shield or a chill shield, as you choose. The warm shield grants you Resistance to Cold damage, and the chill shield grants you Resistance to Fire damage.

In addition, whenever a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack roll, the shield erupts with flame. The attacker takes dice:2d8|noform|noparens|avg (2d8) Fire damage from a warm shield or dice:2d8|noform|noparens|avg (2d8) Cold damage from a chill shield.
