ward zone

3rd-level abjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius)
Components: V, S, M (a staff worth at least 2sp)
Duration: 8 hours

You channel protective magic into your staff, creating a shimmering, dome with a 30-foot radius centered on it. The dome prevents all damage, environmental effects, and projectiles from entering. No creatures can pass through the barrier, though creatures can teleport into the area.

You may designate a number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus + your spellcasting ability modifier. These creatures can freely enter and exit the dome.

The dome has hit points equal to 100 × (your spellcasting ability modifier + half your level). If the dome’s hit points are reduced to 0, the staff is destroyed, and the spell ends immediately. The spell also ends if the staff is destroyed by other means or moved from its position.

To move the staff, a creature must succeed on a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC. Alternatively, a successful casting of dispel magic on the staff (not the dome) ends the spell.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration increases by 2 hours for each slot level above 3rd.
