Warding
You create a shield of raw magic to try to deflect an attack. You gain a +2 bonus to AC against the triggering attack. The effort drains your magic, and you cannot cast spells of 1st level or higher on your next turn. You must not be wielding a shield to cast this spell.
* - taken when you take damage from an attack

Posted Aug 20, 2018I am beyond honored to be among the most disliked spells on this website. I'd like to say that, in posterity, to achieve what I was going for, you should probably just use Mage Armor and rule that it looks like a shield for flavor purposes.

Posted Sep 22, 2018I think if you decide to edit this spell, you should remove the debuff of not being able to cast other spells of 1st level or higher.

Posted Sep 23, 2018Well, I was worried about it being too strong. It really is just a rip-off of the school of war magic wizard, if we're all being honest with ourselves.

Posted Jul 12, 2023This ain't too bad, it's basically just a magical version of the Parry rule a lot of duelist-types have. Maybe adjust the debuff based on level, so like at 5th level you can use a 1st level slot, 8th level you could use 1st or 2nd, etc.
