Cost = 5,000gp

DETAILS

Range: The Wearer (Familiars only)
Duration: total of 1 Hour
Recharges: 1 use per day.

The magic within the collar only activates on a hit from a melee attack.
If, the wearer is not attacked for 10 minutes, the collar removes the protective magical force. The remainer of the duration is stored until the wearer is attacked again - with the duration reduce by how long it was active previously on that day.

A protective magical force surrounds the wearer, manifesting as a spectral frost that covers the wearer and their gear. The familiar gains 5 temporary hit points for the duration. If a creature hits the wearer with a melee attack while the familiar has these hit points, the attacking creature takes 5 cold damage.

At Higher Levels = When the magic is active when the wearer has increased levels from the original level when placed on the familiar, both the temporary hit points and the cold damage increase by 5 for each increase of level.
