Earth Magic

Earth Shield

1-level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action or reaction (which you take when you or an ally in range would be hit by a ranged attack, or a coned or line spell)
Range/Area: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, Concentration, up to 1 minute
A nonmagical barrier of solid earth springs into existence at a point you choose within range. The barrier is 6 inches thick and is composed of one 5-foot-by-5-foot panel. The barrier grants full cover to any creature behind it. If the barrier would be in the way of a line or cone spell, the barrier takes the damage instead of any creature that would be protected. If a ranged attack targets a creature behind the barrier, the barrier takes the damage if the attack would fail to hit the target, but would still hit the wall.   The barrier is an object made of earth that can be damaged and thus breached. Each panel has an of AC 12 and 15 Hit Points. Reducing a panel to 0 Hit Points destroys it and might cause connected panels to collapse at the DM's discretion.   If the barrier cuts through a creature's space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (your choice). If a creature would be surrounded on all sides by the barrier (or the barrier and another solid surface), that creature can use its reaction to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a success, it can move up to its speed so that it is no longer enclosed by the barrier.   The wall can have any shape you desire, though it can't occupy the same space as a creature or object. the wall doesn't need to be vertical or Resting on any firm foundation. It must, however, merge with and be solidly supported by existing earth. Thus you can use this spell to bridge a chasm or create a ramp.   You can not create a span greater than 20 feet in length or risk the bridge collapsing.   This barrier can be created in reaction to a ranged attack, or a spell in which an affect must move in one direction such as a cone or a line. If a panel drops to 0 Hit Points protecting a creature behind it, the creature takes the remaining amount of damage and the panel is destroyed.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can create an additional panel for each slot level above 1st.
