You’re able to throw a pulsing orb of energy at one enemy before engulfing nearby foes in a flash of light.Tortoise Shell. This is a level 2 spell available to Artificers, Druids, and Rangers. This spell bolsters your defenses – provided you don’t move.Void Star. This is a level 7 spell available to Warlocks and Wizards.
