Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch is charged with the power of a vengeful god.  If a target is attacked while the spell is active or you cast this as a reaction to an attack, the target makes an attack as no action against any creature in melee range that attacks this spell’s target with a weapon or spell with a +1 bonus on the attack.  If the attack caused by this spell hit, the creature takes equal damage to the amount dealt to the target of this spell.
