Spell

Shard Ward

Created by XanaSnacks

**School:** Abjuration **Level:** 2 **Casting Time:** 1 Action **Range:** Touch **Duration:** 1 Hour By weaving protective magic around a willing creature, you create an shimmering ward that fortifies their mind and body against the corrosive influence of Shard corruption. This arcane barrier manifests as a faint, crystalline shimmer that surrounds the target, deflecting the chaotic energies that seek to infiltrate their consciousness. For the duration, the protected creature gains advantage on all saving throws made to resist the insidious effects of Shard corruption, allowing them to better withstand its maddening influence. Additionally, the ward absorbs and disperses psychic harm originating from Shard-based effects, granting the target resistance to psychic damage dealt by such sources. The spell provides no protection against psychic damage from other origins, making it a specialized defense against this particular threat. When the spell's duration expires, the crystalline barrier fades harmlessly away, leaving the creature unharmed.
