With a swift incantation and a flourish of your hand, you summon a number of spectral arrows equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. The arrows hover protectively around you in a 15-foot radius, moving with you and ready to intercept incoming projectiles.

When a creature within the spell’s radius is targeted by a ranged weapon attack or the spell magic missile, you can use your reaction to expend one of the arrows to intercept the attack. The intercepted attack is deflected harmlessly.

If all the arrows are not expended by the end of the spell’s duration, you can use your reaction to launch the remaining arrows at a target within 60 feet. Make a ranged spell attack for each arrow. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 force damage per arrow.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the number of spectral arrows increases by two for each slot level above 4th.
