Ward of Abjuration

A protective ward of the mage Aenith's creation, devised from the liquified steel of fallen champions and her own knowledge of defensive incantations. Creatures in the effective area of this spell automatically save any Dexterity-based saving throws. In addition, creatures affected by the offending attack only take 25% damage when they save, instead of just 50%. The caster must make a Concentration save to uphold this ward that spreads in a 10ft. radius emanation from him or her.

The caster must spend two rounds drawing the sigils, lining them with the reagent, and verbally weaving the incantation together. However, when cast at spell level 5+, it can be cast instantly once per Long Rest as a Reaction.
