The target becomes enchanted with magical thorns.
The target deals physical or light damage to the offending creature whenever any creature damages them with non-ongoing damage, would damage them but the damage is negated, misses them with an attack, either in melee or at range, tries to grab them or try to keep them grabbed, or tries to push, pull, or trip them.
You can end this spell as a fast action.
No Scaling:
Thorns does not get any damage bonuses from anything.
Targets can only benefit from one Thorns at the same time.

Extra Credit
Overdrive
Effort: 20
Requires: Mastery
Once per encounter, as an action, a creature enchanted by Thorns may kick Thorns into overdrive, causing Thorns to deal damage equal to the HP they actually lose from taking damage, instead of its normal damage, for one round.
While this spell is in overdrive, the target glows white hot and is covered in magical quills.
Smart enemies may think better of attacking the target.
