Spell Description

Wispy flames wreathe your body for the duration, shedding Bright Light in a 10-foot radius and Dim Light for an additional 10 feet.

The flames provide you with a warm shield or a chill shield, as you choose. The warm shield grants you Resistance to ❄️ Cold damage, and the chill shield grants you Resistance to 🔥 Fire damage.

In addition, whenever a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack roll, the shield erupts with flame. The attacker takes 🔥 Fire damage from a warm shield or ❄️ Cold damage from a chill shield.
