At the end of each long rest, Gelato chooses 1 willing creature he can see, typically Sorbet. Whenever they attack a creature, he can spend 1 spirit point to attack them as well without spending his reaction, and he can spend 1 further spirit point to gain advantage on the attack. When the creature is attacked, he can spend his reaction to contest an attack with the aggressor's, stopping the attack on his success.

He may end this effect as a bonus action, and it can last up to a number of minutes equal to the number of remaining hours the picture has. They may retry this Strength saving throw as an action, ending the restrained condition early on a success.
