I'm not sure I completely buy this. Yes, the expectations are different in this edition, but this is a fourth level spell we're talking about. I mean, it basically does the same thing as a cantrip (bladeward), just with a longer duration. A cantrip that few people find worth their time. I understand the restrictions on buff stacking in this edition, thus the concentration, but I think the spell needs a little more bang for the buck or to have the level lowered. Perhaps it can bestow a pool of temporary Hit Points as well?
