Description

Choose two willing creatures within range, which may include you. Each chooses cold or fire when the spell begins. While the spell lasts, a chosen creature has resistance to its chosen damage type. The spell ends for a creature that becomes unwilling or moves more than 60 feet from the other target.

At Higher Levels. Choose one additional willing creature per slot above 3rd; each must remain within 60 feet of at least one other target.

Velvet Court Devotion. Nyzun. Nyzun’s sensory scholars practice temperature contrast and voluntary endurance as a disciplined game with an explicit stopping point.

Devotional Rite. Once during the spell, a willing protected target may use a bonus action and voluntarily gain 1 Arousal to exchange its chosen resistance from fire to cold or cold to fire for the rest of this casting. This change is immediate, does not stack with any other resistance, and cannot be forced.

  • Veiled Effects. If a target takes damage of its resisted type, it may immediately make an ability check to maintain its grip on an object with advantage before the end of that turn.
  • Unveiled Effects. Once per casting when a willing target other than yourself takes damage that this spell reduces, you may gain 1 Arousal after the damage. If you do, the target may reduce its Arousal by 1. Alternatively, spend 1 Libido while casting to grant one target resistance to both types instead of one, without altering the other target’s choice.

“A body’s best defense is knowing what it has survived.”
