Wispy flames wreathe your body for the duration, shedding Bright Light in a 10-foot radius and Dim Light for an additional 10 feet.
The flames provide you with a warm shield or a chill shield, as you choose. The warm shield grants you Resistance to Cold damage, and the chill shield grants you Resistance to Fire damage.
In addition, whenever a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack roll, the shield erupts with flame. The attacker takes 2d8 Fire damage from a warm shield or 2d8 Cold damage from a chill shield.

Posted Jan 13, 2025I’m guessing someone has said it before but this spell should be called Flame Shield not Fire Shield!! I’m so annoyed I’d buy a PHB 2025 if they have that changed there.

Posted Feb 19, 2025Read the description of the spell. "Flame" rather than "Fire" is how they describe it. Fire Shield leaves the impression that there's only a warm shield option and only Fire damage. You can have cold flames or fire flames, whereas it's less common to have cold fire.

Posted Apr 9, 2025Well, it's either a Shield made of Fire, or it's Shielding you from Fire; i.e., a Fire Shield in both cases.
