This ancient tome is bound in celestial leather, its pages inscribed with intricate runes that shimmer with otherworldly energy. When opened, the book emits a soft, celestial glow that fills the surrounding area with a sense of divine presence.
Mechanics:
-
Activation: As an action, the wielder can command the Aegis to unleash its celestial power. The book opens itself fully, releasing a surge of radiant energy that forms a huge, transparent sphere with a 15-foot radius centered on a point within 60 feet of the wielder.
-
Sphere of Containment: The sphere has hit points equal to 100 + 10 per caster level (maximum of 300 hit points). It moves with the point it was centered on and is stationary once formed. Any creature within the sphere must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC 18) or be trapped inside for up to 1 hour. The trapped creatures are incapacitated and have their movement reduced to 0. While inside the sphere, creatures cannot attack targets outside the sphere or use spells or abilities that would affect targets outside the sphere, including teleportation or planar travel.
-
Attacking the Sphere: Creatures inside the sphere can attempt to attack it to break free. The sphere has an AC of 15 and resistance to all damage. A creature can make a Strength-based attack against the sphere, dealing damage equal to its melee weapon attack damage or unarmed strike damage. The sphere is immune to spells and magical effects that would directly affect it, except for those that specifically target constructs.
-
End of Containment: The wielder can dismiss the sphere as an action, releasing all trapped creatures unharmed. Alternatively, if the sphere is destroyed (reducing it to 0 hit points), all trapped creatures are automatically released.
-
Celestial Ward: While the sphere is active, the wielder and their allies within 30 feet gain resistance to radiant damage and advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.
-
Divine Intervention: Once per day, the wielder can call upon the Aegis to cast banishment targeting a creature trapped within the sphere. The creature makes its saving throw with disadvantage.
