A Large spectral guardian appears and hovers for the duration in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The guardian occupies that space and is invulnerable, and it appears in a form appropriate for your deity or pantheon.
Any enemy that moves to a space within 10 feet of the guardian for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there makes a Dexterity saving throw, taking 20 Radiant damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. The guardian vanishes when it has dealt a total of 60 damage.

Posted Jan 26, 2025There is one way it's better than Spirit Guardians -- no concentration. That's about it, though. Why can't you upcast this?

Posted Mar 20, 2025It has an 8 hour duration, so you can use it to guard your respite during a long rest (as long as the guardian can be concealed somehow so it doesn't give away your position). Better used if resting in a subterrean dungeon, as if you are resting with this guardian in the wilderness, the guardian will give away your position.
The spell is not meant for direct combat, but for guarding areas. It also has the benefit of not requiring concentration.

Posted Jun 7, 2025All it needed was Double the Range (20), more damage (30) and double the duration (120 damage). Also the ability to move it with a Magic Action and some form of upcasted effect.
Yet they couldn't even do that. Wth.
