Description
Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch has Immunity to Psychic damage and the Charmed condition. The target is also unaffected by anything that would sense its emotions or alignment, read its thoughts, or magically detect its location, and no spell—not even Wish—can gather information about the target, observe it remotely, or control its mind.

Doungim Lore
School Fit
The Abjuration tradition is the spellcaster's defence cabinet. It is the school of warded doors, of wards over thresholds, of shields raised in the moment of the attack. Mind Blank reads as Abjuration the moment a player sees what it does — the spell ends, prevents, or absorbs an effect that would otherwise land. At Mind Blank's level, a single cast can decide a fight or an arc.
Class Fit
- Bard: Bards rely on Bardic Inspiration for most action-economy boosts; Mind Blank matters when Inspiration isn't the right tool for the moment.
- Wizard: Arcane Recovery returns one or two slots on a short rest. Mind Blank's slot cost is therefore not exactly what the slot column says.
