Die for Your Master
EnchantmentEnchantment spells affect the minds of others, influencing or controlling their behavior. All enchantments are mind-affecting spells. Two subschools of enchantment spells grant you influence over a subject creature. ( CompulsionA compulsion spell forces the subject to act in some manner or changes the way its mind works. Some compulsion spells determine the subject's actions or the effects on the subject, others allow you to determine the subject's actions when you cast the spell, and still others give you ongoing control over the subject.)

This spell functions as bleed for your master, but it allows your companion or familiar to intercept any attack that targets you, including those that do not require attack rolls (e.g., chain lightning, hold monster, and magic missile). Your companion or familiar cannot intercept effects that do not affect creatures of its type (e.g., dominate person).
