You can expend 1 charge to cast either the purify food and drink spell or the sanctuary spell (spell save DC 13), without requiring material components. For each charge you expend from this armor with any of its features, you can also grant a creature of your choice within 30 feet of you 5 temporary hit points .

• You can expend 2 charges from the armor to cast either the absorb elements spell or warding bond spell, without requiring material components.

Whenever a creature starts its turn within the cube, you can cause that creature to regain 15 hit points. The aspect remains for 1 minute, or until it has restored 75 hit points. You can use a bonus action on subsequent turns to move the aspect's point of origin up to 30 feet to another point you can see.

This armor consists of a fitted metal chest piece worn with supple leather. Although it leaves the legs and arms relatively unprotected, this armor provides good protection for the wearer's vital organs while leaving the wearer relatively unencumbered.
