I created a Spell for Paladins to flavor the Receive-and-Attack style of my Paladin
I would like some Feedback on this Spell, especially from the mechanics side since I'm not so versed in character building and hope this spell isn't unbalanced in either direction. Feel free to comment on the flavor too.
So absorb elements for weapon damage, but weaker. Just copy absorb elements wording entirely.
It's also not that different from Hellish Rebuke or Armor of Agathys (which is already on the Oath of Conquest's spell list.) I don't think this spell is distinct enough to justify its existence, but yeah, if you're gonna keep it definitely just copy the wording of Absorb Elements.
I would say add in a duration, and maybe make it concentration, cause a rock falling on you shouldn't make your sword deal more damage 6 hours later. I'd say a duration of 1 minute at most.
Thanks! The spell is now more inline with Absorb Elements. I also gave to Rangers as an option, though it is still meant as a flavor spell for my specific Paladin, so I kept its name.

EDIT: I updated the spell, thanks for the Feedback: https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/172999-red-revenger

Doesn't really make sense how the damage type is being reflected, you might just want to make the bonus damage be the weapon's normal damage type.
Name could use a little work "revenger" is not a word. Maybe try to work "absorb" or "counter" or "return" in to the name.
I could see rangers using this spell too.
