When you would be hit by a ranged weapon attack, you can cast this spell as a reaction to deflect or catch the projectile. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 2d6 + your casting ability modifier.
If you reduce the damage to 0, the attack instead misses you. You can then catch the projectile if you have a free hand and it is small enough for you to carry.
As part of this same reaction, you can use the caught projectile to make a ranged melee attack using that projectile, adding both your proficiency bonus and Dexterity modifier to the attack roll. This attack has a short range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. A hit deals damage equal to 1d6 + your Dexterity modifier, and the damage type is the same that would have been dealt to you.
