Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Fire Shield — It's Fire Shield reskinned as lightning — same 4th-level retaliation aura that zaps melee attackers for 2d8, except it deals lightning damage and drops Fire Shield's damage-resistance perk. ✨
Surround yourself with a lightning sphere for 10 minutes; melee attackers within 5 feet take 2d8 lightning damage each time they hit you.

Lightning courses in a sphere surrounding your body, shedding bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. You can use your action to end the power early.
Whenever a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, it takes 2d8 lightning damage.
