A ward of protective energy wraps around you or a creature you touch, drawing on magic bound to the earth itself. When you or a creature you are touching is hit by an attack or is about to take damage, you can use your reaction to invoke this ward. The target gains resistance to the damage type(s) of the triggering attack or effect until the start of your next turn.
If you cast this spell while within sight of a site of ancient binding magic, such as the lighthouse on Stormwreck Isle, its power is greatly amplified. The target instead gains resistance to all damage, and its AC increases by 2 against attacks made after you cast the spell, both until the start of your next turn.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one additional creature you are touching for each slot level above 1st. Each additional target gains the same benefits as the triggering target.
* - when you or a creature you are touching are hit by an attack or take damage
