| I'm nervous about Temp HP from a cantrip; but the limitations (self only, about as much as Heroism) keep it relatively under control. After the upcasting was simplified and the damage lowered I'm largely in favor of this cantrip. |

| With the change to dealing a d4 in damage die, and still keeping the proficiency bonus (which scales like good cantrips) for the temp hit points, I can say that I enjoy this. |
On Balance[edit]
At first glance the spell seems to be overpowered for a cantrip. Both damaging an enemy and giving temporary hit points to the caster. However...
- The damage is low (d6)
- Temporary Hit Points do not stack. So you cannot build up a huge reserve of temporary hit points.

Responses to Ratings[edit]
To Vaegrim — Thank you for your response and rating. Initially, I had it increase further at higher levels. I removed that. I considered starting with reach, but thought that it was too much for a cantrip at 1st level. This was the compromise. Compare it to Chill Touch that does more damage at a 120 ft. range. Again, thank you for taking the time to look at the spell. --Rlyehable (talk) 18:23, 23 April 2019 (MDT)
