Arcane Buckler
Abjuration cantrip
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (A specially prepared gauntlet, bracelet or ring, worth at least 5 gp)
Duration: 1 Minute
Casters: Artificer, Sorcerer, Wizard
You create a shield out of translucent, yet visible, force, which emanates from the prepared gauntlet. This force protects you as if it were a shield you are proficient with, granting you a +2 bonus to AC while it persists, provided you are not wielding another shield.
If you suffer damage other than Psychic damage, the shield shatters, ending the spell early.
At Higher Levels. Beginning at 5th level, the first time you take non-Psychic damage while the shield is active, the shield does not break. You can take damage twice before the shield breaks at 11th level, and three times at 17th level.
