Veil of Sand

A protective magical force of sand surrounds you, it swirls around your body and equipment. You gain 8 temporary hit points for the duration. If a creature hits you with a melee attack while you have these hit points, the creature takes 4 force damage, plus your spell casting modifier.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, both the temporary hit points and the force damage increase by 4 for each slot.
