Find Familiar: Spectral Shield

You conjure forth a sentient shield imbued with azure radiance, bound to your service. This spectral familiar's allegiance is exclusive to you. It remains within a 30-foot radius of your presence; venturing beyond this boundary causes the familiar to disperse. The spectral shield remains by your side until its hit points are depleted or it is dispelled.

Actions:

Defend: The familiar can be designated to defend a chosen creature. When engaged in defense, the target creature's AC is augmented by +3.

Bonus Actions:

Shove: The familiar executes a forceful shove against a single creature, propelling it up to 10 feet away. An attack
roll is made using the familiar's Athletics modifier (+8).

Ioun Form: The familiar transforms into the likeness of a simple Ioun Stone, possessing a single hit point. If subjected to an attack, the familiar's normal health is reduced by the corresponding damage. This bonus action is usable once per short rest.

Reactions:

Guardian Defense: As a reaction to an attack roll targeting a creature within 30 feet of the familiar, you can intercede on their behalf. This intervention grants an instantaneous +3 bonus to the target creature's AC. However, if the attack ultimately lands, you sustain half of the total damage dealt.
