Ley Lines

Also at lvl 2, Through your study of the supernatural you have learned to utilize and manipulate ley lines. Using them to create fortifying effects for yourself and allies or effects that debilitate your foes. 

As a bonus action you may create a sigil using ley lines, around a creature you see within 60ft of yourself. Granting either of the effects which last until the creature moves out of the space.
