Defiance of Death

You ward the target to stand defiantly against death. The next time the target would either drop to 0 hit points or die, they would instantly be brought back to 15% of their maximum hit points. Additionally, that creature is cleared of all status effects that were afflicting them. This includes positive statuses and negative statuses, but does not include the contingency spell. (excluding exhaustion that specifies that it can only be cured from a long rest such as the exhaustion that comes from the chronurgy wizard capstone). 

Once a creature has had this spell's effects activate on them, they cannot be affected by this spell ever again unless they have it cast on them by a different level spell slot than any spell slots that have been cast before. (4 times at most with 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th slots). A wish spell cannot restore the ability to be affected by this ability, but any god of death or life can.

When the caster of this spell puts it on a creature, the caster of the spell cannot cast this spell on another creature until the spell is dispelled off of the first target or the effects on that first target trigger. Additionally if the caster has Mass Defiance of Death, they cannot cast that spell until the effects of this one wear off.

This spell cannot be cast in conjunction with Death Ward, Mass Warding Against Death, or Mass Defiance of Death.

At Higher Levels: When this spell is cast at a higher level spell slot, the amount of maximum hit points restored increases by 15% per level. 30% at 7th level. 45% at 8th level. 60% at 9th level.
