You mark the target’s body with a unique rune that represents their fate. The rune protects against death from either a specific damage type (slashing, poison, fire, radiant, etc.) or a category of creature (giant, beast, elemental, monstrosity, etc.) that must be named when the spell is cast. For the next 24 hours, the target has advantage on saving throws involving that type of damage or creature, including death saving throws if the attack that dropped the target to 0 hit points is covered by this spell. A character can be under the effect of only a single not this day! rune at one time; a second casting on the same target cancels the preexisting protection.
