You place a planar ward upon a creature that you can see within range. The shimmering ward of invisible energy has hit points equal to 2d8 and lasts for the duration. If the creature upon which the ward was place were to take damage, the ward blocks that damage, instead depleting from the hit points of the ward. The ward cannot block psychic of poison damage unless it is dealt by an attack. If the ward is reduced to 10 hit points, the target takes any remaining damage and the spell ends.
