This 2nd-level arcane spell originated with witches, and has gradually spread to more common use. It allows the caster to displace a spell of up to 3rd level to another target within Medium range of the original caster. The original spell must target the caster (and potentially other targets, but not “all targets in the area” or similar). The caster of this spell may choose the target, and the new target is treated as if they were the original target for all purposes. The material component of this spell is a small straw doll, tied with twine. This cunning protection is often used after taunting another spellcaster, and can even retarget a spell to the original caster, which can be very surprising. If the spell allows, the original caster may be able to dismiss the spell before it hits them, but not all spells are dismissible. Legends persist of higher-level versions of this, but Witches usually keep these spells closer to their cauldrons, instead of teaching every hedge wizard who asks.
