You present the material used in the casting and magically create a small wall to use for cover. Examples of this cover include forming rocky terrain around you or summoning a barrier of energy. You shape the cover however you want, to a maximum of 5 foot long and half your height, and it acts as half-cover in one direction to whoever is behind it. On your turn you can move the wall using your bonus action, for example to move it with you or to cover an ally instead of yourself (so long as the wall remains in range).
At higher levels: if you use a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can increase the length of the wall by 5 foot. Upon 3rd spell slot level, the cover becomes three quarters cover. Upon 6th slot level, the cover becomes full cover.
