# Fire Shield *4th-level, Evocation* - **Casting time:** 1 Action - **Range:** Self - **Components:** V, S, M (a bit of phosphorus or a firefly) - **Duration:** 10 minutes Wispy flames wreathe your body for the duration, shedding [Bright Light](/Rules/Source/variant-rules/bright-light-xphb.md) in a 10-foot radius and [Dim Light](/Rules/Source/variant-rules/dim-light-xphb.md) for an additional 10 feet. The flames provide you with a warm shield or a chill shield, as you choose. The warm shield grants you [Resistance](/Rules/Source/variant-rules/resistance-xphb.md) to Cold damage, and the chill shield grants you [Resistance](/Rules/Source/variant-rules/resistance-xphb.md) to Fire damage. In addition, whenever a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack roll, the shield erupts with flame. The attacker takes `dice:2d8|noform|noparens|avg` (`2d8`) Fire damage from a warm shield or `dice:2d8|noform|noparens|avg` (`2d8`) Cold damage from a chill shield. **Classes**: [Artificer (Armorer)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-armorer-tce.md "subclass=TCE;class=TCE"); [Artificer (Battle Smith)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-battle-smith-tce.md "subclass=TCE;class=TCE"); [Bard](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Cleric (War Domain)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-war-domain-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Druid (Circle of Wildfire)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-circle-of-wildfire-tce.md "subclass=TCE;class=XPHB"); [Druid](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-druid.md); [Fighter (Eldritch Knight)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-eldritch-knight-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Rogue (Arcane Trickster)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-arcane-trickster-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Sorcerer](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md); [Warlock (Fiend Patron)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-fiend-patron-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Warlock (The Genie, Efreeti)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-the-genie-tce.md "subclass=TCE;class=XPHB"); [Wizard (Evoker)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-evoker-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Wizard](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-wizard.md) *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 274.
