Benediction

You call down a blessing in the name of an angel of protection. A creature you can see within range shimmers with a faint white light. the next time the creature takes damage, it rolls a d6 and reduces the damage by the result. The spell then ends.

Cantrip Upgrade. The damage-reduction increases by 1d6 when you reach levels 5 (2d6), 11 (3d6), and 17 (4d6). The spell continues to absorb damage until all points of damage-reduction are used up within the same round.
