In addition, while the spell is active, each enemy within 10 feet of you that can see you must make a Charisma saving throw when it starts itsturn. On a failed saving throw, that creature cannot move further away from you, make an attack that does not target you, or cast a spell that targets other creatures but does not target you, lasting until the start of its next turn.

Creatures that cannot be charmed that are blinded that have less than 6 Intelligence, or that have no reflection are immune to the effects of this spell.

If you stop holding the shield the spell ends immediately.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the radius of the saving throw effect, the bright light, and the dim light increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 1st, and the bonus to AC increases by 1 for every three slot levels above 1st.
