Spellcasting. The battle mage is a 5th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). The battle mage has the following wizard spells prepared:

Cantrips (at will): fire bolt, prestidigitation, mage hand, message

1st level (4 slots): burning hands, fog cloud, shield

2nd level (3 slots): misty step, scorching ray, web

Dagger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage.

Arcane Deflection. When the battle mage is hit by an attack or fails a saving throw, it can use its reaction to gain a +2 bonus to its AC against that attack or a +4 bonus to that saving throw.

When this feature is used, the battle mage can't cast spells other than cantrips until the end of its next turn.
