    You conjure a shimmering field of force that turns aside incoming projectiles. For 3 rounds, the ward deflects any non-magical ranged attack each round that would otherwise hit you. The attack misses completely, its force sliding away in a ripple of light.

    At Higher Levels

    None.

    Special

    The ward protects only against non-magical ranged attacks. It provides no protection against melee attacks, area effects, or attacks made within 5 feet. The barrier ripples like thin glass when struck, each deflected hit leaving a faint shimmer before fading.
