Thorn Skin
Once per short rest, spend a Hope while touching a willing creature and place a number of tokens equal to your Spellcast Trait on this card. Whenever the target takes damage, you can remove any number of these tokens to roll that number of d6s. Then reduce the incoming damage by that amount and, if the attacker is in melee, deal that amount of damage back to them.
When you take a rest, clear all tokens.
