Casting time: 1 reaction (which you take in response to taking damage)
Range: 60 feet
Components: V

You ward yourself against destructive energy, reducing the damage taken by 4d6 plus your spellcasting ability modifier.

If the triggering damage was from a creature within range, you can force the creature to make a Constitution saving throw. The creature takes 4d6 Force damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.

Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot
