//Source: \\ Arcadia, Volume 23 \\ (MCDM) //

=== Level 2, Illusion, Gemstone ===

//**Casting Time:** Action , **Range:** Self , **Components:** V (Vocal) - S (Somatic) - M (Material) , **Duration:** Up to 1 Minuet (Concentration) \\ **Special Material:** a rhodochrosite worth at least 10 gp // \\

**Effect**
  *You imbue yourself with a spirit of whimsical grandeur. For the duration, you have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. In addition, whenever you take damage, that damage is reduced by an amount equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. Each time this occurs, an illusion makes it appear as if the attack, spell, or effect that damaged you instead failed to affect you. Any additional effects that accompany the damage (such as forced movement or being grappled) still occur, but the illusion causes creatures around you to rationalize those effects as something you did on purpose. 
  *A creature who uses their action to examine you can determine the effect is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through it for the remainder of the spell’s duration, though the spell’s damage reduction benefit remains in effect.

**At Higher Levels**
  *When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you roll 1d8 and add the result to the amount of damage you reduce for every two slot levels above 2nd.
