Essence Reflection

The spell reflects some of the incoming essence, lessening its effect on you and immediately deflecting some of the essence toward the nearest foe. You have resistance to the triggering damage type until the start of your next turn. The creature that attacked you is hit by their own attack in a weaker form, taking 1d8 of the triggering damage type. 

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
