Percival's Peaceful Pest Pardon

1st-level abjuration

Upon casting Percival's Peaceful Pest Pardon, you create an invisible barrier around you that extends in a 15-foot radius. This barrier repels common pests such as mosquitoes, flies, and other small, non-magical creatures with a challenge rating (CR) of 0. The spell harmlessly deters these creatures, ensuring they keep their distance without harming or killing them.

The spell is designed to specifically target creatures that are typically considered nuisances but are not dangerous. It does not affect creatures with a CR greater than 0 or any creature that could grant experience points upon defeat. The barrier moves with you, maintaining its radius centered on you for the duration.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the radius of the barrier increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 1st.

Lore:

Percival's Peaceful Pest Pardon was created by Percival Greenleaf, a druid renowned for his deep respect for all forms of life. Percival spent much of his time studying and living in nature, where he often encountered the annoyance of pesky insects and small creatures. However, his reverence for life, no matter how small, led him to seek a non-lethal solution to this problem.

Percival developed this spell not only to provide comfort to himself and his companions during their time in the wild but also to uphold his principle of coexisting peacefully with all creatures. His spell reflects his belief that every creature, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, plays a role in the balance of nature and deserves to be treated with respect and kindness.

Percival's Peaceful Pest Pardon is a testament to his philosophy and has become a popular choice among those who travel or live in areas where they are frequently bothered by small, non-threatening creatures.
