This spell creates a translucent gleaming wall of light that enemies cannot attack (at ranged or melee) or move through the wall, but allies and the caster can attack and move through the wall without penalty. The ward can take multiple forms as long as it remains 1/4th of an inch thick. However, the ward can be broken if it sustains enough damage with an armor class of zero, and 100 total hit points at 3rd level. The ward can instantly be destroyed with a successful dispel magic effect. Upon taking enough damage or being dispelled the ward simple disappears though objects that are stopped by the ward do not regain any momentum they had before coming into contact with the ward. The ward is not effected by gravity so it can hover in mid air, however, once the ward is placed it can no longer be moved. The ward cannot be placed in solid objects, but can be placed in liquids. The ward can stop physical objects like a falling bolder, but takes damage accordingly, and does not safely stop falling damage it stops you from falling. The ward can prevent allies and the caster from passing through it, and it can allow enemies to pass through it as well (the creatures allowed through can be changed on command as a free action during the casters turn). The spell lasts for 10 minutes as long as the caster maintains concentration. The spell follows the same rules as the wall of force spell when taking shape and size so look to that for the details. The ward can support a weight of up to 1000 pounds at 3rd level breaking if more weight is applied.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the ward gains 50 extra hit points, and can support an additional 1000 pounds per spell level above 3rd.
Notes: The inspiration for this spell came from the anime series called goblin slayer as the priest casts a protection spell. Although, if you need any idea's about how the ward works please read the description carefully and entirely as well as refer to similar spells like wall of force. I suggest you go watch that series as it is a great show if you can stomach the first episode (don't worry the first episode is the only episode like that, and it is meant to scare off the unworthy) if you can't stomach it then don't continue watching it as you miss out a lot without the first episode, and to be honest you probably aren't cut out for dark fantasy in the first place.
