4th-level transmutation (Cleric)


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S, M (a ruby or garnet worth 25 gp)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You are surrounded by a swirling mass of blood red droplets. These drops move to intercept any attack by magically joining together and hardening into a barrier. For the duration, you gain a +4 bonus to AC and gain advantage on any saving throw versus fire or cold damage. However, you have disadvantage on any saving throw versus lightning damage.

You can use an action to throw the droplets up to 10 feet from you and reform them into a stationary bulwark made of an iron-like red metal. The bulwark is 10 feet tall, 10 feet wide, and 1-inch thick. The bulwark has AC 15 and 30 hit points. The bulwark has resistance to cold damage and vulnerability to lightning damage. Once you have thrown the droplets, they will remain in the form of the solid bulwark until the spell ends, but you no longer gain the bonus to AC.
