A willing creature you touch is surrounded by a shimmering ethereal mantle that places a protective barrier between it and the elements. For the duration of the spell, they gain the following benefits:
- The target automatically succeeds on saving throws made against the effects of extreme cold[1] and extreme heat[2].
- The target and any objects it is wearing or carrying are kept magically dry and unsoiled by substances such as blood, dirt, grease, grime, mud, or oil.
- When you cast this spell, choose any damage types other than psychic. When the target takes damage of one of those chosen types from an external source, that damage is reduced by an amount equal to 1 + your spellcasting ability modifier (minimum of 1). This reduction applies after resistances gained from other spells.
If the target takes 5 or more damage of a type reduced by this spell (after applying all reductions and resistances) during a single turn, the mantle is broken and the spell ends for it.
