You adopt the persona of a vengeful agent of justice, taking on a distinctive fighting style that promises punishment to those who seek to harm your allies. For the duration, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can mark the creature until the end of your next turn. This effect ends early if someone else marks the creature. While it is within 5 feet of you, a creature marked by you has disadvantage on any attack roll that doesn't target you and cannot make opportunity attacks against you. In addition, until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to force one creature within 10 feet of you to roll a Wisdom saving throw. It has advantage on the saving throw if you do not currently have a creature marked, and it automatically succeeds if it is a construct or undead. On a failure, a creature takes 1d6 psychic damage and becomes frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd or 4th level, you can concentrate on the spell for up to 8 hours. With a slot that's 5th level or higher, you can concentrate for up to 24 hours.
