Blade Ward +

You extend your hand and trace a sigil of warding in the air. Until the end of your next turn, you have resistance against bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage dealt by weapon attacks.

At 5th level, the cantrip gains a range of 30 feet and can affect one creature of your choice.

At 11th level, you may ignore the verbal and somatic components of the spell.

At 17th level, both you and the target get the benefit of the cantrip when you cast it.
