Elminster's Effulgent Spheres

Six chromatic spheres orbit you for the duration.

Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot

While the spheres are present, you can expend spheres to create the following effects:

The number of spheres increases by 1 for every spell slot level above 6.

Absorb Energy

When you take Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or 🔊 Thunder damage, you can take a Reaction to expend one sphere and give yourself Resistance to the triggering damage type until the start of your next turn.

Energy Blast

As a Bonus Action, you send one sphere hurtling toward a target within 120 feet of yourself. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 🎲3d6 Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or 🔊 Thunder damage (your choice). Regardless of whether you hit, the sphere is expended.

The spell ends early if you have no more spheres remaining.
