Elemental Barrier is a meta-spell that combines the protective properties of a barrier spell with the offensive capabilities of an elemental spell. This versatile magic creates a shield that not only blocks incoming attacks but also harnesses elemental forces to deter or damage would-be assailants. To cast Elemental Barrier, the caster must expend two spell slots: one for the Elemental Barrier itself and another, one level lower, for the elemental spell component. For example, to cast an 8th-level Fire Barrier, the caster needs to expend an 8th-level spell slot for Elemental Barrier and a 7th-level spell slot for an appropriate fire spell (e.g., Fireball).

The barrier's protective properties are based on a barrier spell of one level lower than the Elemental Barrier being cast, while the elemental effects are derived from the elemental spell used, scaled appropriately to the Elemental Barrier's level. This allows for a wide range of defensive and offensive combinations, making Elemental Barrier a highly adaptable spell for various situations.
