quen
0-level (Cantrip) Evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Quen is the expression of elemental earth, grounding your life force to the earth and erecting a
magical barrier around you.
At-Will Effect: You perform a dowsing with a natural object (e.g. stick) to determine a cardinal direction you name, or a general terrain feature (e.g. stream) you name within 120 feet.
Combat Effect: As a bonus action, you surround yourself with a shimmering force barrier that grants you a +2 AC bonus as long as you concentrate, for up to one minute.
Empowered Effect: The first time a melee attack hits you while you’ve erected Quen, the
attacker takes 9 (2d8) lightning damage. In addition, when the barrier ends, all creatures within
5 feet of you are pushed back 5 feet.
