Commanding Phalanx

You stand tall and proud, invoking the essence of leadership and valor. As you chant the words of summoning, a radiant aura envelops you, emanating authority and strength. From the ground behind you, spectral figures materialize, forming an orderly phalanx of phantom warriors.

An army of spectral warriors, manifests in a formation directly behind you. These warriors are spectral entities, appearing as disciplined soldiers adorned in ethereal armor, bearing shimmering shields and weapons infused with arcane energy.

While the spell is in effect, you and friendly creatures within 30 feet of you gain the following benefits:

• Temporary Hit Points: Each affected creature gains temporary hit points equal to 2d10 + your spellcasting ability modifier.

• Defense Formation: The spectral warriors provide cover and bolster the defenses of the affected creatures. Each affected creature gains a +2 bonus to their Armor Class.

• Battle Command: Once on each of the affected creatures' turns, they can use a bonus action to receive a tactical command from the spectral warriors. This command enhances their next weapon attack, granting them a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the temporary hit points increase by 1d10, the bonus to Armor Class increases by +1, and the Battle Command bonus by +2.

Note: The spectral warriors cannot interact with objects or trigger mechanisms that require physical contact.
