You touch a shield and transform it into an elemental energy type of your choice (cold, fire, lightning, or acid). You can safely wield the shield, and while it is donned, you gain resistance to damage from the shield's type for the spell's duration.

In addition, when you take the Attack action, you can use a bonus action to make a melee attack with the shield. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier of damage of the shield's elemental type.

The shield returns to normal when the duration expires. Only you can wield the shield safely. Another creature that touches the shield takes the damage as described above.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the elemental damage increases by 1d6 for every two slot levels above 2nd.
