After some events in my campaign I have to come up with some new arcane discovery from a mad magician and a guild of dwarven alchemists. I came up with this magic item, but I like you guys to look it over for some feedback. Is it too weak/powerful? Badly written? Are the stats correct? The idea is for it to be impressive but accessible. I’m planning for it to be a plot hook on the future.
Arcane Proxy
This vial is filled with a white-blue luminescent plasmic substance that swirls and crawls, seemingly trying to escape from it’s glass prison. Level: 2 Effect: this Aenima filled vial absorbs any arcane spell targeted directly to it. When worn or carried the vial absorbs any spell originally targeted to the wearer.
After absorbing the spell the vial explodes, being permanently destroyed.

When the wearer is affected by an arcane spell, roll 1d6. 1-3 the spell bypasses the Arcane Proxy. 4+ the spell is absorbed by the Aenima, nullifying its effect and the vial is destroyed.
What about now? Also any help with the wording is welcome, English is not my native language and I also want this item to look as “official” as it can.
Stay cool
What about rolling against the circle of the spell? So first circle spells are always absorbed, but 2nd circle spells are absorbed on 2-6. If there are ever 7th circle spells they would ignore the puny arcane proxy every time.
