Dex's Wet Blanket

You spit in the direction of your target and transmute the air around them in a 5 foot radius into a blanket of water for the briefest instant, reducing the damage inflicted by 1d6. Once the weapon attack is concluded, the water dissipates into a barely discernible sphere of mist and drifts away.

The damage mitigated by this spell increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).
