The dragon can't use Dooming Breath again for 1d4 rounds.

Soul Shield ◆◆ (concentrate, divine) Frequency once per day

Effect The requiem dragon uses their life essence to create a shield of spiritual energy around a creature within 60 feet. The shield creates a link between the dragon and the creature with the effects of Share Life except that the effect doesn't end regardless of distance and remains for 1 hour. In addition, the creature gains resistance 5 to physical and spirit damage that applies to the half of damage it receives. The dragon can Dismiss the effect.
