• Casting Time: 1 action
• Classes: Wizard
• Components: V S M
• Concentration: Yes
• Duration: Up to 1 minute
• Level: 4
• Material: A hemispherical piece of clear crystal and a matching hemispherical piece of gum arabic
• Name: Resilient Sphere
• Range: 30 feet
• School: Evocation
• Target: A creature or object of Large size or smaller within range

A sphere of shimmering force encloses a creature or object of Large size or smaller within range. An unwilling creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is enclosed for the duration.

Nothing, not physical objects, energy, or other spell effects, can pass through the barrier, in or out, though a creature in the sphere can breathe there. The sphere is immune to all damage, and a creature or object inside can't be damaged by attacks or effects originating from outside, nor can a creature inside the sphere damage anything outside it.

The sphere is weightless and just large enough to contain the creature or object inside. An enclosed creature can use its action to push against the sphere's walls and thus roll the sphere at up to half the creature's speed. Similarly, the globe can be picked up and moved by other creatures.

A disintegrate spell targeting the globe destroys it without harming anything inside it.

The SendingStone review

The Resilient Sphere spell is a great option for wizards looking to protect themselves or an ally during combat. With a casting time of just one action, the spell creates a sphere around the target that cannot be penetrated from the outside. The sphere can last up to one minute as long as the caster concentrates on it, making it a solid defensive option. However, the spell's level 4 requirement means it may not be available to wizards at lower levels. Overall, the Resilient Sphere spell is a valuable tool for wizards looking to survive even the toughest battles.
