You create a floating sword and shield made of water and ice that lasts for the duration or until you cast this spell again. When you cast the spell, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature within 15 feet of the caster. On a hit, the target takes cold damage equal to 2d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. The also Caster gains temporary hit points equal to 5 times the spell level cast as the shield protects them. In addition the caster gains +2 to their AC while they have temporary hit points in this way, the shield is destroyed when the caster loses these temporary hit points.
As a bonus action on your turn you can repeat the attack against a creature within 15 feet of the caster.
The sword and shield can take whatever form you choose, reflecting the history and beliefs of the caster.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for every two slot levels above 4nd.
