Golden Barding

The caster creates a shimmering, weightless gold barding for their steed. The steed's AC improves by +2 for the duration of this spell, which ends if the caster places a real barding on their steed or if they dismiss it as an action.

At Higher Levels: When this spell is cast using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the bonus AC is further increased by +1 for every spell slot level.
