So I think I will go with the new Origin. In the video they mentioned a spell similar to shield, can I see what it is? I will probably go with Douse Light in place of Minor Illusion and Cloying Darkness in place of Ice Knife.
Did you want me to write out the abilities for you? Also keep in mind the flavor of the Origin (as will I) You can have your shield spell go off and be black and shadowy and "absorb" the attack into some unknown shadow realm.
