You gain the ability to absorb spells and spell-like abilities, if they require a spell Attack against you.
The maximum amount of spell levels is equal to 1d4+6, which is rolled secretly by the DM.
Once a spell Attack successfully hits you, the DM subtracts the spell level from your total.

• If the spell is fully absorbed, you suffer no harm.
• If the spell is only partial absorbed, the unabsorbed spell levels are divided by the original spell level to determine the remaining effect (i.e. if an 8th level spell hits you and 4 spell levels are absorbed, the spell's damage is reduced by 50%).

Additionally, once you have absorbed a spell, you may use its energy to cast any spell available to you of equal or lower spell level (i.e. after absorbing 8 spell levels, you could cast an 8th level spell, or two 4th level spells).
Casting spells in this fashion has the normal requirements for spellcasting, except it does not require a spell slot.
Once the duration ends, you can no longer absorb spells, and any absorbed energy is lost.
