Gahoul’s Scapegoat

4th-level, Abjuration

• Casting time: 1 minute
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (black chalk, paint, or oil)
• Duration: 8 hours

You trace a complex arcane symbol on the flesh of a willing creature you touch, marking it for sacrifice. When you are hit by an attack roll during the spell’s duration and the marked creature is within 60 feet of yourself, you can take a Reaction to teleport, swapping places with the creature and forcing it to be hit by the attack instead of you. The spell then ends.

Classes: Necromancer; Witch
